The Qi camp tries to minimize the Qi radiation threat with their electric toothbrush example. Weak example, since an electric toothbrush takes so little power (you might use one for 6 mins a day) and most people aren't near their toothbrush charger for any significant amount of time. Opposed to a big radiating pad or tabletop with enough power to charge a phone and you are sitting next to it 8 hours a day.

I haven't heard anything on the internal Qi reliability, but we all know that if it is internal and it breaks, you ain't going to get it repaired for cheap or maybe even at all.

Don't forget the heating issue with Qi charging. Qi can make the device components, especially the battery, hot which can degrade the device over time. Didn't one of the car manufacturers have to add a vent to blow air on their charging pad because it was getting extremely hot?

Still it will all come down to marketing

You never know maybe a state like CA ban Qi in public buildings because of a chance of birth defects.
