I edited my comment, but the idea was to increase the amount of foreknowledge required to extract something useful. It won't be perfect, but it's better than just storing the SSID/password in cleartext (or encrypted with an easily-extracted on-device key). The device wouldn't tell the attacker what he needed to know to find the network the password works for if he didn't already know it.
Edit: another commenter linked https://wigle.net/ https://wigle.net/, which could make it extremely easy for an attacker to find the network to exploit if the device stores the SSID in cleartext. My idea would help make that a lot harder, especially if the enclave rate-limits requests.
