Consider me a cynical pessimist then.
Regarding WiFi, the most common kind of questions here are (rephrased to
hint a solution):
1) Why my WiFi kind refuses to work without non-free firmware?
2) Why using Network Manager prevents me from associating with AP?
3) It wrote all kinds of weird stuff into my resolv.conf, how do I
change that?
4) What's Predictable Interface Naming, how do I get my wlan0 back?
And regarding hostapd configuration - I recall zero for the last
two-three years. Either it works for anyone out of the box without any
trouble, or, rather, anyone's using consumer-grade WiFi boxen without
any "user-serviceable parts inside".
