No it's not. It's just that in many cases, the "things" (such as
lightbulbs, etc) are easiest to mass-market with wifi. I mean would you
want to run ethernet cabling to every "IoT Lightbulb" you want to put in
your house?

On the other hand, the "things" can also be HVAC units or other "big
appliances" that're hardwired in; and it's probably easy enough to run
an ethernet cable there.

Computer Science tends to still be under the mathematics department in
many universities ;) . Math classes would probably use '≠' though (in
case that doesn't come through, unicode codepoint 2260, "Not Equal")
