Someone else mentioned cars. I prefer to keep my car off wifi. No need for the car to use it.

*I* mentioned cars.  And, I use WiFi only to connect the car to the automation
system in the house.  So, if the garage door is inhibited from opening to
allow the driver access, the driver can view a live image of the interior
of the garage to see WHY the door is not being allowed to open (someone
working in the garage, power failure, stuff in the path of the vehicle,
pets wandering around, etc.)
Would you, instead, like that to be conveyed to your ISP via your access point,
over-the-air to your cell phone -- which you will have to access in order to
"see" the scene?  All those third-parties on which you will rely?
Why not use all those LCD screens already in place in the car (and, have that
happen automatically when you engage the garage door opener)?
There's nothing you can do to keep your car from "tattling" to the dealership,
manufacturer, credit bureau, etc.  I've often wondered if it would throw a fit
if you, e.g., shorted it;s antenna!
