Just had a lightbulb moment about why smart home gadget setup videos always gloss over the WiFi part

Gloss over WiFi to avoid viewer meltdowns.

Maybe they skip the wifi stuff because how someone fails at it tells you more about them than a successful connection ever could. Grant Hernandez has a point about routine, but the struggle is where you see character. Would watch someone fight with a router for two minutes easy.

Actually, I bet they cut the WiFi bits because it's just boring routine stuff. Most people already know how to connect to a network, so showing it eats up time without adding value. It's like a cooking video skipping the part where you dry your hands on a towel.
