They are in fact legally required in many jurisdictions.

How do you implement them properly when the user has to agree to certain terms to connect?

What if this isn’t possible? The world implodes? Or suddenly the lawyers discover it isn’t that ‘required’ anyway?

Then your country will look like Germany did until a few years ago, with no WiFi hotspots anywhere, not even in Starbucks, and people being careful not to open their WiFi to guests at a party even.

That's what has happened before, that's what's just going to happen again. In Germany, the owner of a WiFi hotspot was liable for anything users on the WiFi did, unless the owner could prove that every user had signed an agreement that they would not do illegal stuff
