Perhaps not; one theory could be tested on Stretch.
Many WiFi devices require firmware. Some of those devices will not have
an interface registered (they are not initialised) if the firmware is
not present to be loaded into the device. Other devices get an interface
whether the firmware is present or not. If there is no interface there
is nothing for the Jessie udev to put in 70-persistent-net.rules.
Which type do you have?
Move the wireless device's firmware out of /lib/firmware. Then
modprobe -r -v <wireless_module>
ls /sys/class/net
modprobe -v <wireless_module>
ls /sys/class/net
