I feel like there is a major opening for access point makers to simplify 802.1x rollout for all networks. Now it requires a whole bunch of steps only IT admins can do (RADIUS server, etc).

Maybe your new Dlink router comes with an 'app' which generates unique logins (with optional expiration times) that you can give out to users. There's a whole market of coffeeshop/restaurant wifi providers but they usually use no/shared encryption and a captive portal for managing authentication. That's great for dispensing logins and handling expirations, but is horrible for your user's security and user experience.
