Just because a rule is not enforced does not mean it's always unnecessary. So, there, I answer your blanket statement with one of my own.
And here are the reasons why that's okay in this case (I'm going to 1-2-3 you again now)
1) Until it becomes cost-effective, We don't have the manpower to waste turning the campus in to a WiFi police state, and we hope it never becomes cost-effective
2) There's no reason to cause a fuss unless there is a reason to cause a fuss. The rule is there so we have the authority and justification to take action if necessary, not because we enjoy slapping people's wrists. Back to the topic of the post - that's all the school was doing: "officially" giving themselves the okay to take action.
3) You agree to the rules when you come here (or go to any school). I consider myself a libertarian in many ways, but even I can see that when two parties engage in an agreement, they're both expected to abide by the rules of that agreement.
