Yes — Amazon is rolling out a test gossip network on their latest generation Echos. One of my Echos shared the WiFi password with the other.
I also think separate VLANs could be better (setup is a mess), but using them is pretty easy: you just connect the device to the right VLAN at setup. All of my wall sockets are IOTnet and they have their own AP. I think a big area of improvement is making it easier to provide different VLANs with different DNS.
It’s not perfect, but it is better (owned device can’t access other trust domains; can have firewall rules enforced).
I agree it all could be better and we need regulation around disclosing sensors in IOT devices (eg, Nest should be legally obligated to disclose microphones) or IOT gossip protocols.
