Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me)

Games are too WOKE these days! [PS1 startup sound] - Feddit.it

and because i’m a lazy ass i didn’t read the specs but just read the search engine result. I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it Result: that $250 printer doesn’t actually have wifi

It's also possible that the circuitry is there, but not activated in this model.

considering that clicking on “status page” in the printer driver opens localhost:58510/index.html in the browser and Windows sees it as “Canon G2070 series HTTP”, I wonder if they took the lazy path and the USB is used as a simple network adapter…

No, it means the printer driver is running a web server to host the status page. Localhost is literally your computer.
