I think that people are looking for Wireguard to be something that it isn't. It's a fancy Ethernet cable, that's all. You can build a lot of neat things on top of Ethernet cables, like full networks. But it's not the cable that builds the network, it's just a low-level tool for facilitating that construction.
If you want to do something like make a point-to-point VPN, then wg-quick is that layer on top. If you want to build a mesh network from endpoints authenticated with a third-party identity provider, you want something like Tailscale. Wireguard is just a low-level building block that handles the crypto in those use cases; making something high-level is left as an exercise to the reader.
