I'm somewhat surprised that home router manufacturers haven't started shipping models with a built-in IoT guest network that has its own VLAN.

Incidentally it's concerns such as those raised in the article that drove my decision to use zigbee or z-wave devices for my HA setup where possible.

Some do, I just setup a ubiquiti amplifi which has guest WiFi feature.

MikroTik can do this as well, though in typical fashion for them, it takes a bit of work to set up.

Guest WiFi usually uses a captive portal, I think. I don't think that would work with something like Google Home, which expects to have internet access right away AFAIK
