When you hack into someone's wi-fi and use it to get on the internet, you are using up bandwidth inside his house. You're not just grabbing electrons that he let out into the air, you are actually using up bandwidth and thus preventing him from being able to utilize it himself.
When my wireless card is detecting my network it also detects my neighbor's network. How dare he send his signal into my apartment, using my electrons to put the name of his network on my computer screen? I wanted to use those electrons for something else.
