A temporary ethernet connection in another location likely will work
with sufficient download privileges.

try the -o switch with wifi-menu is helpful and make sure you already have
the dialog package installed before you run wifi-menu. On Mon, 24 Jul

I've installed ArchLinux on 3 desktops so far, and I've done them
successfully, so I must have *RTFM* , I was just wondering why is it
hard to configure wifi. Since I failed to configure wifi with
wpa_supplicant. I'll try with wifi-menu today, and report progress.
No need to be so aggressive man.

All fine and good but I don't see arch being installed on something
other than desktop/laptop. Of course there are niche cases as arch
server I do not doubt but how much of arch install base is traditional
desktop? I think it's rather high.

Arch Linux is not like desktop focused distributions. Therefore, it's
ISO does not come with "everything but the kitchen sink" where you have
a turn-key desktop after running a GUI installer or install script. It
has the base set of software you need to assemble what you need for your
given install target.
Isn't it widely accepted as
the go to method of connecting to internet in Linux?
No, not in general like that. Network manager is primarily used for
network management with desktop environments, most commonly Gnome, as
the other respondent noted. Arch Linux is used in many different ways,
not only for the desktop.
Is there any reason
for it not to be default?
The defaults for the ISO would generally be the simpler options, and
less likely to be something large with a lot of dependencies. Also,
minimalist ISOs were the norm rather than the exception in years past
and for Reasons. They still are in some cases or with some distros.
Also, there are not always application defaults with Arch Linux like you
might have with a desktop distro. Arch is "DIY/build your own and choose
your own defaults (for the most part)" type of distro.
