Our links are essentially standard 5 GHz wifi, but on licensed bands with higher tx power, and we don't want random people to connect to them. A WPA key mitigates that without breaking any regulations. Mainly a mitigation against curious people with Ubiquiti equipment, which makes it way too easy to disable country restrictions and find and connect to our links in licensed bands :-)

So if they don’t know the key or where to find it, how is that “publicly known”?

  You can easily find it on a public website if you know what you're looking for. It's only meant to deter people who click the "Scan" button on their equipment.
