Why don’t Canon work with a PC manufacturer to create a PC/Laptop and Adobe that completely automatically calibrates with the printer so that what you see on the screen is exactly what’s printed out. Printing today is way over complicated and messy.
It would be not cheap, and it will force users to buy the full stack without any choice - monitor, graphic card, printer, calibration device, software, etc. It would be quite a niche product, difficult to update. Just change one item, and you're back to square one. Such system may make sense for industrial products where you also sell maintenance and ensure availability of spare parts, and which may never be upgraded to different software.
Printing today is no more complicated than taking a good photo. Apple, Microsoft, Canon, Adobe and others already made it much simpler than it was when there was no or few standards.
You need to understand a few basic principles, and follow the proper workflow to select the right settings. As you select aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, etc., you need to select paper, profile, rendering intent, etc. Then, just you like you process an image for screen display, you process it for printing.
Tools like Adobe Lightroom or Canon Print Studio Pro already do a lot. The latter has a "Pro Mode" or "Driver Matching" that will try to print what you see on the monitor. Just, as Zeidora explained, you have to cope with two very different media and imaging technologies, and it could be physically impossible to translate exactly what you see on a monitor to a printed copy. For simple images, within reasonably limits, it is possible and already done.
Take a 8 bit sRGB JPEG image, select the paper you're printing to, let the printing software or printer driver take care of it. You can do it directly from your camera, phone or tablet as well. Results could be good enough.
For more demanding RAW/TIFF images, just like when you shoot you may have to decide if highlights or shadow details are more important, because you may not be able to record everything, when you print you may have to decide what to sacrifice and what to enhance or modify, because you may not be able to print everything - and those are decisions only the photographer can take. Maybe AI can take care of it, but as most automated methods, it will lack personality.
Personally, coming from reversal film, in the beginning I found RAW digital processing overly complicated, especially the sharpening step which greatly depends on the image contents. It took some time to master it properly.
One needs to spend a little time learning how to do it properly, using reliable sources. Trial and error will take more time, and in the case of prints, is also expensive, while results won't be often predictable and repeatable.
Otherwise, as usual the solution is to have a professional print shop take care of that.
