One of my pet peeves: non-portable devices that have WiFi but no Ethernet port. For example the Logitech Harmony Hub, Amazon Echo and Apple HomePod.

Definitely.

I guess if WPA2 get blown apart (to the degree WEP was) there might be a market for super-low-power APs that you put on or right next to the device. Not sure that'd be enough without additional shielding.

Most WPA2 devices do support 802.1x which —depending on the crack— may help extend the lifetime.
