The decision of what gets added to such standards is largely a combination of politics and what is actively being used. Some companies and research labs wanted it to be added and they lobbied successfully for it.

This technology is already usable with many existing routers, though to a lesser degree. The standard is meant to define expectations of how the technology is implemented in future 'SENS' devices.

I guess it could be useful for AR/VR or replace Bluetooth in some location sensing applications (like in stores tracking movement patterns, or monitoring systems for dementia patients living alone).

I dislike how this additional privacy infraction is going to be the norm in a few years.
