I don't get why people want the wireless charging. It's not actually wireless; you still have to put the phone on a pad to charge. This makes it unusable while its charging, unlike with wires. It seems to be a *Downgrade* to wired charging to me.
That depends on how you use it.
Personally, I don't like using my phone with a charging wire plugged into it. If my phone is charging and I need to use it for anything other than just quickly checking something then I unplug it. Often I then forget to plug it back in.
With wireless, I can just pick it up off the pad, without having to unplug the wire and then put it back on the pad afterwards. To me that is a huge improvement.
If I am just doing something quick, where I wouldn't currently unplug it, I now have the benefit of not having the wire dangling out of the bottom whilst doing that.
The only issue I can see for my usage is if the phone is very low on battery so you need to plug it in, but also need to keep using it. That's a fairly rare occurrence for me (especially with a relatively new phone), but in those occasions the wire option is still there.

I have plenty of friends and loved ones, but would rather just enjoy the moment with them that constantly hold up my iPhone to capture events. Significant events, sure. But how many events are you apart of where you really need to capture everything on video? A lot of the times pictures will do just fine.
And also, that's what cloud storage is for. I have 200GB of iCloud storage and am getting a 64GB iPhone X. All of my videos/pictures live on my iMac and I put the stuff I always want to be accessible in iCloud Drive.
Just my two cents. 256GB isn't for everyone regardless of how many loved ones you have.
In most situations I agree totally with you. That's why my 64gb phone almost always has space free.
However, take the situation I was in recently:
Going on holiday, so put some music on my phone, as I can't rely on getting internet connection when away. Even though I have roaming it is often slow. Wifi is usually OK in hotels, but can't be guaranteed.
On that holiday, I take lots of pictures. Then we visit some places where you want to take some videos. Plenty of time to also enjoy the moment with my family, but let's also get a video of that geyser erupting, or to get the true impact of the waterfall. If I'm not going to take those sort of videos then what's the point of having a video camera?
So, you take some videos. Not huge numbers, but a few small ones from various angles. Missed the geyser first time, so have another go. My son suggests we have a go at videoing it in slow motion. He has a go too.
But we don't have quick wifi where we are staying. There is no way that these videos are going to get uploaded to iCloud. Meanwhile, my phone has warned me that it is running out of storage. I look through the music that I've downloaded and decide what to delete off.
Whilst doing so, I think "I really need to increase the storage on my next phone".
That is a scenario which may happen two or three times during my ownership of the phone, but It's a bit problem when it does. £150 to avoid having to mess around with that sort of thing is a an easy decision for me. I'm sure 128gb would do the job, so the fact that it isn't available is a shame, but at least I will now have the option of also adding some TV shows or films as well, so that I have the option of watching them on the phone and using my iPad.
Cloud storage is absolutely fine, and I use it, but you do need a reliable internet connection for it to work well. That is fine when you are at home, but the moment you start travelling, especially abroad, it often can't be relied upon.
. It's by definition the exact opposite. I don't complain about 60k cars, because I drive a 32k used Volvo
