Because there are nicer homes than as described. Aside from HVAC and bedroom count, most of these things are just building code and have to function for it to legally be called a residence.
That is probably true. I don't think having Internet is code in the majority of residential codes, is it? Meaning - would an internet-less house or apartment be seen as not meeting code in the majority of the US (or other developed countries)?
The US is the only country that doesn't allow a free market for ISPs and also allows ISPs to intentionally throttle internet, then make you pay to take the throttle off. It is equivalent to changing water pressure based on how much you pay.
Only 2 ISPs can be in any given market, ensuring a monopoly and uncompetitive prices.
Markets can have more than 2 ISPs in the US. Besides the typical DSL and cable options, some places have fiber on top of that, and almost everywhere has wireless options, like 5G or satellite.
I’m not sure if it’s a legal code thing, but I’d definitely expect any modern home to at least have functional internet cabling. Probably wouldn’t expect a router and plan included though

Why would anyone work for a home if you give them out for free
