You are simply out of your head. You are aware that the 2.4 ghz and 5.8ghz are public bandwidths which means that you share them publicly. It is up to the owner to secure devices that they own. Your example of borrowing a bike is very different from using some of a service the same as piracy and theft are not the same. One deprives someone of some physical property while the other shares a non physical service.
I know that someone owns the FM antennas that broadcast the radio station that i am able to hearand towers. I know that they probably pay licensing fees to broadcast and have invested a large amount of money in equipment to be able to broadcast these signals. I have never seen an agreement that says I am able to listen to the radio for free. I have never investigated to see if i truely could listen for free or if indeed I should be paying a subscription fee for the privledge of listening. Have you ever read the telivion or radio broadcast agreement or did you just assume these were free? How about if I can hear a closed concert from outside the venue. Should i have to pay a fee for this privledge.
The coffee shop should be liable for insecure practices (Un encrypted means that each of the valid clients can still attempt man in the middle attacks on other valid clients), and wasting official police time while investigating a service that they are providing for free and open. The service is not just in the coffe shop but is also available to anyone. Name the SSID "donotconnectunlessdrinkingstarbuckscoffee" and you may have a leg to stand on.
