But what about all those other random WiFi devices? I don’t relish the thought of entering 63 characters into my printer’s goofy interface, a games console, my car, etc...
I can attest to the usefulness of this. I have a similar thing set up on my iPhone via the Shortcuts app and it's been quite nice to share my long password without worrying about the hassle of spelling it out. Here's the Shortcut, in case anyone wants to try it out: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/681b4f7b030543b79ab7de6afa3...
Well that’s surprising and nice.
A secure random WiFi password in a QR code is great for Android and iOS, and the laptops/desktops that can sync their password database with them over Bluetooth. But what about all those other random WiFi devices? I don’t relish the thought of entering 63 characters into my printer’s goofy interface, a games console, my car, etc...

You don’t give your WiFi password to everyone that visits?
I think the OP is making a joke about the fact that some guests who get the wifi password, may spend all their time looking at their phones instead of socializing. That happens nowadays when one throws a party or movie night.
Explaining the "WIFI:T:WPA" bit would have been nice to see.
At the bare minimum a link to an article that explains it would be necessary to meet the bar.
In the current state this article is a users level how to document, and fails to met the bar for an article targeted at "hackers".
