I just read the Wikipedia on that. No. Currently when you get an iot device you usually connect to it through the smartphone, tell it your Wi-Fi hotspot, give it the password and have it go online. Instead there could be a flow of going to the routers interface, select "scan new qr code" and you add the device that way - more realistically this would be done through the "myspectrum" or equivalent app as the isp usually issues the modem/hotspot for the majority of consumers. A number of things would have to change to make that possible but it's a much easier setup flow and it likely requires less complex software on the device itself.
