Good luck configuring wifi without netplan. Netplan is ok.

Trivially with NetworkManager, which is there anyway.
In my new laptop setup script:

  nmcli device wifi connect "$WIFI_NETWORK" password "$WIFI_PASSWORD" name "$WIFI_NETWORK"
Why would my VMs or my hardware have wifi?

My laptop sure, but I have network manager on a gui for that. My netplan config on my laptop is literally

  # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
  network:
    version: 2
    renderer: NetworkManager
What's wrong with wpa_supplicant.conf and ifup?
