I think the disdain for the wireless charging certainly has to do more with the average age of scubaboard users than it does with the overall clientele.
It could be argued that some people review their actual needs and buy teh kit which suits those teh best, rather than just buying a specific item and making it work.
Prime example was my friend, a highly experience and technical diver, chose a new D6i. Simply because she was going to Mozambique for 6 months of diving and her prime requirements were a daily wear with a battery not needing frequent replacement or recharging because of the limitations of her destination (generator power, and frequent long outages) Her phone was out of power many times on that trip for days, she never lost a dive because her computer wasn't working.
Personally 80% of my diving is on overnight liveaboards, where horizontal space is limited, wireless charging has the very real possibility that the computer would be moved from teh charge position and I wouldn't know until next morning (with a low battery). Not ideal. Similarly I've have my replacement batteries fail because I stupidly left them in their original packaging which got damp and discharged them. My own fault for sure, and easily rectified, but it's this which for me leads me down the route of preferring a corded charge (unless I went to OTSC which offers the opportunity to wirelessly charge their AA battery or use a normal replaceable one - best of both)
My needs however aren't the same as others, if people are just day diving then it doesn't really matter.
ON SB people often forget that people dive differently and want or prefer different solutions that more readily meet their personal requirements.
