It's true, they used to be more available and then they stopped making those tables for those reasons (and they were more expensive).
Yes, in a conference room setting with more than 3 people it's better to have wifi, no disagreement there. In google's case here it sounds like they'd bring a mobile hotspot in so everyone could see the documents together, which is not ideal but would work.
Still, they'd have ethernet for the video sharing so they could just put a router in each conference room (a huge pain to admin, but - it's google) and everyone gets wifi in the conference room and no one is very slightly inconvenienced.
OR - y'know. Bring back the ethernet. Werd.
