Having multiple adjacent networks enabled is liable to cause customer devices to roam between access points on and off their LAN even when

- Remote access point doesn't provide access to desired resources

- Have acceptable performance

- Have acceptable security parameters according to users needs

Most users can't stand up a vpn inside their network and configure it to alleviate the self inflicted wound of having their phone decide that the user isn't qualified to select the wifi access points it prefers to connect to. You may as well ask them to grow wings and skip Delta. Instead they will be placing irate calls to their ISP about why their wifi sucks so much and I will be silently cursing Apple.
