> Godox has apparently omitted Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for cost reasons.

Seem like a questionable claim given that many microcontrollers support both of those.

It's not just the cost of the antennas. This device barely has a screen and has like four buttons total. How are you going to type in a wifi password?
Put it in the file wpa_supplicant.conf on the root of the sd card of course.

Point taken, although I suspect the sibling comment about the cost of certification might be the correct answer.

More likely omitted for cost associated with regulatory reasons, so they don't have to submit it for emitter approval.
