I had a friend who once used wifi to connect a micro controller to an LED **on the same PCB** in one of his projects and I still make fun of him for it. (he didn't want to have a wire visible or run a path)

I wonder if there are other instances of wireless communication within perfectly wire-able devices in the wild.

Big Clive needs to be sent some of these monstrosities to take them apart!
