So when I moved into my current house I ran it to only 2 places where I was certain I wanted hardwired, and put WiFi APs at those drops to give good whole house coverage.

One drop to each room is good enough, you can always drop a 4 port switch into a room that needs more.

No, I’m saying 1 drop in a room with nothing hardwired is a waste of time and money.

I put 2 wires in the office and 2 in the living room, but didn’t run any to bedrooms because those are all laptops and cellphones.

I agree honestly. I have a hard wire connection at 2 points in my home... Where my work desk is, and in the garage, which is at the complete opposite side of my house as my WiFi router. I have a could devices hardwired on the garage, including an AP, so now the entire property has WiFi. Everything else is WiFi anyway, so why bother running wire everywhere!?
