Low-voltage wiring in new construction

What’s everybody’s thought on low-voltage wiring i.e. CAT6 and RG6 or the latest variation?

We are building homes from $2.5M to $5M and the president of the company wants to go totally wireless, to save a few bucks.

We will run a smurf pipe from the service interface to a panel located in the house. The modem/router would have to be located in the panel. Depending where the panel is, it may affect signal.

The cost to run a phone or cable wire is $75 each or $150 for a dual jack.

My thought is, we need to run a dual jack to the owners bedroom, over the fireplace, the screen porch and any kind of media/flex room at a minimum. Four drops for $600.

Besides the prez being a tight wad, what is the consensus for running low-voltage wiring? Give me good reasons to counter his mandate.
