We've had ad-hoc WiFi for about 3 decades, but that requires a level of device access that no gatekeeper will agree to anymore.
Well, one gatekeeper. Wifi direct/aware seems to work fine outside of iOS and Mac os.
It is now supported bey iOS as well, thanks to the EU: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/WiFiAware
