WiFi exploits will always be subject to proximity though? For it to be remotely exploitable, you would be talking about a router or something else in the hardware stack.
In your mind, what kind of WiFi exploit is actually concerning?
After reading your reply, it seems you have ruled out all home networks and any exploit on a company not dealing with ultra-sensitive data. What's left?

Something as simple as a Pringles can will dramatically increase "proximity". If you are in (or as perceived as) a juicy enough target area why wouldn't someone use something like this? Great way to monitor people, find out which houses are ripe to break in, etc.
