> It would simplify setup for non-technical consumers. I'm sure people complain about having to input a WiFi password with a TV remote.

So they'll add a $50 LTE/5G modem to the BOM just to save the trouble of entering a password using arrow keys, a process that takes maybe 2-3 minutes?

They’re closer to $18-$25 at quantity these days, especially if you don’t want one with GPS built in as well, you can get it on the lower end.
