Insteon and x10 both did this. There just aren’t enough benefits.
I have like 70 Lutron Caseta devices in my home (in a congested city with a UniFi WiFi system (4 APs) and a zigbee and a zwave network) and they’ve literally never once dropped a single command signal. Ever.
I think wireless congestion can be an issue for sure, but clearly there are ways to engineer around it that don’t involve powerline. Powerline brings too many of its own issues (latency, and poor signal reliability come to mind).
