Why don't all devices have a "connected/alive" entity?

I’d like to have a dashboard that just shows all of my devices and whether they’re connected and working. (I’ve been bumping into limits on my Wi-Fi since I have so many Wi-Fi iot devices) I’d also like to be able to be notified if something important goes offline. Some stuff, like esphome, has a “status” entity, but not everything (like tasmota, for which I used to use elsewhere its actual mqtt status node set by its let). I did try an nmap device tracker but that was somewhat more confusing.

“What the heck?” :grin: (Thanks everybody!)
