Knowing when connected/disconnected, so you can check surveillance cams for people going in and out of the cafe, or nearby on the sidewalk, around those times. Checking if the same spoofed MAC address reconnected at other times, or in other nearby cafes. Maybe you can figure out what VPN they connected to. And so on. It's just a tool that can sometimes be useful in a multitude of ways, even if the MAC address is spoofed.
