I doubt your finger is faster to click an icon, and run a process to
select a wifi hotspot, than the scanning to determine which wifi hotspot

automatic hotspot connect, not where you have to authorize the connect.

Thank you for trying to help me as I have spent hours and hours on this,
where all I want is something so basic that I don't know why it's hard.
 
All I want is to put a shortcut on my home screen that connects to a known
access point bssid/ssid pairing, which should be simple to create, right?

No, since user Apps are not allowed to connect to networks, only the
system itself or "system" apps which got provided by Google as part of
Android or the phone manufacturer can do this.
