Other mesh networks such as Eero and soon Luma support hard wiring your sattelites. I think its extremely important Netgear Orbi does the same. Especially for those of us who can.
i would not be holding my breath for that change as i suspect it would be way down on the dev teams list as there is plently of work still left to do on features that are actually susposed to be imcluded like USB and real Qos and a few other things
i will go as far as to say we may not see ethernet at all in the stock netgear fw and you may have to wait for some 3rd partty firmware to come along and port it over with working ethernet backhaul
if you have structured network cabling why would you be screwing round with mesh type systems anyway
