Of course you can run the connection the last few metres inside. But 
that's up to the user, not the network. It's up to the user to decide 
what level of performance they require and to install the required 
equipment and cabling to achieve that performance. And to insist the NBN 
is connected to their premises in the appropriate manner, perhaps paying 
extra for the installation.

This issue is as relevant to FTTH/FTTN as it is to ADSL/cable/wireless. 
With any internet connection, you need to distribute that internally to 
all internet-connected devices, selecting the appropriate connection 
method for each device based on the performance you require.
