PLEASE RISE FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM 
:palpatine-do-it:
needs to be simple code-wise so it can be displayed in a really limited boot environment. Fonts are complex but they already have to display text so.
For someone who wants a "dumb" Wi-Fi speaker:
I think what you want is a DLNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLNA) speaker but I'm not sure how easy it is to get that working.
Windows supposedly supports it out fo the box: https://superuser.com/a/1631206
To play from iOS you may need a speaker that also supports AirPlay.
idk, it doesn't seem like it's super out of the box, but better than nothing.
AirPlay seems like the newer protocol since it uses mDNS (invented by Apple I think, but super standard now) instead of UPnP (a more finicky older protocol for service discovery)
Decent reddit thread on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/q01n3r/any_micless_speakers_for_tv_home_assistant/
This looked decent: https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/one-sl (just don't install the app I guess) (also has ethernet which is cool, so it can be used without wifi)
idk most of their stuff is fine.

lol his home state is on the no primary list.
