WiFi isn't as safe as they apparently think it is lol
If the SSID you connect to is unique enough, there's a site that can literally pinpoint your location. If you have any other SSIDs around you, it's basically guaranteed. That's why there's a bunch of apps that log the SSIDs around you, to get your location without having to ask.
That's not even considering the entire rest of WiFi that's not anonymous
