How often do people actually end up typing these random passwords though? Personally, I almost always can copy/paste or autofill. For devices like TVs, it seems like many of them let you pair via a QR code or other mechanism. And sure, there are times where you need to manually type a password, and for those specific cases you can use a different scheme (like avoiding special characters or using something like Diceware https://diceware.dmuth.org/) but I wouldn't go so far as to never include special characters. IMO if you expect to always be able to autofill, use as many character classes as possible.
