I see it as a good thing, as it might promote better placement for WiFi coverage, vs where a tangle of wires is tolerated. The POE option further enhances that angle.

An unmanaged POE switch is affordable; if one is technical, then a managed one is not much more.

As a data point, my five-port home router has only two in use: the WAN port, and one LAN/VLAN port connected to the main household managed switch.
