Power transmissions over long distance would worry me especially in the confines of my home, IMO I think this is a solution looking for a problem.

I don't really know what you're getting at, power transmission over long distance HAS been around for a long time.You said "power transmission over long distance already exists and has for years", then stated several examples of very short range inductive methods.
Long range WPT methods specifically utilise LASER, microwave, resonant-magnetism for e.g satellite applications.
An Efficiency Enhancement Technique for a Wireless Power Transmission System Based on a Multiple Coil Switching Technique
For magnetic-coupled resonator wireless power transmission (WPT) systems, higher power transfer efficiency can be achieved over a greater range in comparison to inductive-coupled WPT systems. However, as the distance between the two near-field resonators varies, the coupling between them...www.mdpi.com
The question was regarding a short-range scenario. WPT over long distance isn't very useful because they tend to use radiative/resonant technologies e.g power-beam/LRLPs . Since you then went on to list some short-range tech (i.e inductive coupling rather than far-field methods, magnetic resonant coupling, for example) underneath 'long distance', I thought it could possibly become confusing for OP.I don't really know what you're getting at, power transmission over long distance HAS been around for a long time.
You then go on to quote Long range WPT methods.

It's an interesting topic though. Wikipedia has a comprehensive article on wireless power, which includes the story that Tesla started to build a 'wireless' power station in 1901 (which unfortunately never came to fruition). 120 years on and we're still working on itOP hasn't been on here for 2 months so I wouldn't worry too much.
