dont blame apple
its verizon's fault. apple originally went to verizon first but they turned apple down. verizon was too picky about wanting all their phones showing the same GUI so cingular was next in line.
i should know cuz i used to work for verizon.
and about that wifi thing...your phone is just letting you know its within range of wifi spots you can latch on to. the ones with a lock icon to the right of the name means you need a password.
if you dont want to use available wifi, just hit cancel and you'll stay on EDGE.
if you really hate AT&T that much you can cancel and use T-mobile by way of unlocking the iPhone. but then why?? tmobile uses AT&T's towers, has less reception, and no edge. you would have to rely on wifi only for internet and email
