"Whis all the black magic that appears to be involved to get a wifi card to work with ndiswrapper (seek the working windows driver that will work, fwcuttering it, etc) I don't think apt-getting ndiswrapper is such a hassle in comparison."

But find me a wireless laptop that doesn't also have an ethernet port :-) Anyway, the point is that including ndiswrapper would be ridiculous - it's a sticking plaster to cover over the true problem, which is getting more driver support into the Linux kernel.
