This is simply the next evolution in war driving.
As long as someone can walk the streets and sidewalks...drive their cars down a street...walk through a building...all while collecting BSSIDs and geo locations, they can submit that info to the database.
None of it is illegal. And having your BSSIDs collected doesn't constitute an attack on your network.

...we can barely build a printer that doesn't make you want to gouge your eyes out at some point in its short lifetime.

Same problem. Also found that it started off with letters too small to even begin testing. In an actual exam, they increase the size of the eye chart at least until I can BEGIN the test.
If I simply guessed because I couldn't tell (there's no "I can't read it at all button"), what happens if I guessed correctly? I'd have to think that this would skew the results.
TLDR: it needs more work.

The SPR (U.S strategic petroleum reserves) should definitely take advantage of the situation right now and fill to the brim (if not already full)
