It could be that there are wormholes in almost every system, but that
the wormhole geometry (both in terms of where they are in the system,
and in terms of how many wormholes you need to traverse to get between
a given pair of points) means you may well need to slog a fair way in
normal space between wormholes - and sometimes hyperdrive may offer a
more direct route.
