Well as a radio comms and broadcast engineer I wonder why I have most
everything here wired rather than "Wireless"?..

Same here. Years of experience with radio mics. ;-) Only reason to use a
radio link is where it's impossible or inconvenient to use a cable - like
say with moving objects. None of this applies to an alarm. Or a doorbell.

Hear, hear. As an aged IT bod and radio ham, I'd run wires.

I'd run wires as well. Wires are trustworthy; radio isn't.
