Go pro cameras.... Why wifi remote, not Bluetooth?

[TTmonkey]

As above, why? I can't make sense of this...

Cross platform..
Bluetooth standards are not adopted by all (read Apple) handset manufacturers in the same way..

Wi-Fi has a longer range, usually.

How do they work? Do you have to have wifi to use it or does it create a wifi network itself?

It creates it's own wifi network directly between the remote and the camera.
