Well, the Pocket PC Treos do support Palm's WiFi SD card, so it's not quite so simple. I think Palm has made a corporate strategy decision about not investing R&D into finishing WiFi support on the Palm OS Treos. Not sure why they'd want to make a decision like that, but one possibility is that they view the Palm OS devices as strictly consumer items, and thanks to modern cellular data networks, WiFi is more of an enterprise need. (I've personally never had a need for WiFi thanks to EVDO service.)
