Me: "How about a printer where I can scan a QR code, like an IoT device, and it 'just works'"? Tech industry: "How about AR glasses?"

While the complexity of translating screen -> paper across platforms, resolutions, etc. is huge and ever-expanding, can anyone comment on why it isn't a solved problem by now? Are there just too many ancient protocols left to support (for a large enough sales surface) so the drivers are too fragile to properly rewrite? Is it an issue of OS support for the latest protocols? It's not like printer frustration is a new phenomenon...
