Funnily enough, some companies managed to solve the router problem. The Unifi Dream Machine is perfectly first-time configurable from a mobile app. Simpler routers don't really need any configuration these days and most people get routers from their provider anyway, whether they like it or not. When talking about smart home devices, much of these are configured via their own apps, it's not like you are accessing a web interface much. If you are... well, there have been a number of remote code executions in these, so I'm not sure that bypassing a certificate warning is the biggest problem here. Generally, I believe if someone can't set up a certificate then they don't have any business running web services for other people. The big problem is that it's not trivial for a browser to decide what's on "the local network" and what isn't.
