But sniffing probe requests doesn't get you much. You get a list of SSIDs they've seen, which could be potentially bad, but not nearly as bad as insecure sites not being marked as such.

Yes, but the article takes a focus on this too. But it's more useful for tracking people, for example in a large building.
