I'm pretty sure this kills all the MAC address randomisation and anonymized WiFi scanning features built into iOS when walking across a covered area. They've put all this effort in not being able to trace single phones through buildings and squares with randomised identifiers and then decided to automatically associate with magical networks, solidifying the MAC address for an extended period of time, bringing back the real-time tracking of unsuspecting people. Quite disappointing, in my opinion.
