So, I guess you are right.  There is no benefit for Apple having people connect to the Apple Wi-Fi (with an APPLE ID) in Cupertino. No benefit at all since there is no way they know what type of network you are using, your location, or what device you are using, or WHO is trying to connect to the Apple Wi-Fi if there was one.</blockquote>
