  Hmmm… It does tick a lot of the boxes, but the ethernet protocol is way too complex with all of its layers and not reasonably implementable on a low-power microcontroller. Also it requires separate hubs for connecting multiple devices together unlike i2c, which is daisy chainable.

    A lot of microcontrollers, ESP32 or STM32F4 to give two examples, have the PHY built in.
