Think about it.  How do you expect this to work?  A UART interface is a
bi-directional stream of byte, but where exactly to you expect the other end
to go?  There isn't a single "the WiFi" out there to talk to directly.

I've seen some modules that provide a UART interface to a specific TCP
stream, but of course you still have to tell it somehow what machine and
port to connect to.  Or if it's the server, what port to be on, and then you
have to configure the clients somehow to that server's IP address.  I don't
see how you can possibly to UART over WiFi out of the box without some
configuration.
