Funny enough a router collecting this data near a busy enough highway can bog itself down by collecting unique Wi-Fi identifiers from all the passing cars' networks, not to mention all the hotspots on passing commuter trains.

It never occurs to router makers a static base could see a million Wi-Fi networks come and go every week.
