Oh god with Wifi this thing would be terrifying for hackers - just add a wallwart and shove it into an available electrical socket at an office building and you've got something that can sniff forever.

Can't a RPi Zero W already be used like that? And it's cheaper than this.

Yes, anyone interested in doing that already has oodles of options today. Adding one more wouldn't be a meaningful change.
