It's most probably meant for opportunistic sensing in industrial environments, where it might become quite useful. It's not something you're going to use at home.

I think there’ll be a decent amount of home interest, particularly for home security. Linksys is already doing WiFi sensing as part of their various smart home products: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=317804
The Linksys docs even mention how you may have to tune the sensitivity to filter out motion from your neighbors...
Since this is passive sensing, an attacker outside your home can make use of the WiFi signals emitted from the router inside your home. Or they can broadcast their own signal.
However, it could be something employers would want to use when you are working remotely. Unfortunately.
