In Finland most cellular data plans are completely unlimited and cellular coverage (even indoors) is excellent. I have not used any WiFi connection (home/office/public hotspot) for years and I have no reason to turn my WiFi on ever. My home fixed internet is ADSL, slower than 4G anyway, much slower on uplink.
The next question would be: Does Apple's (or others) WiFi listen to other traffic even when offline has been selected by the user. They could do it without turning the transmitter on. Maybe on global perspective such users are still the exception, but given their data collection desires I would not be surprised if they do that routinely anyway.

- usr1106 5y agoI am not always at home when the Internet is being used, so my phone would not be enough. The ADSL is there mostly for historic reasons. It works so I don't change it. In most cases the speed does is not really matter. I work mostly using the shell over ssh. An occasional video works just fine. The only case where I need a better uplink are telcos that require me presenting. Or in theory the camera, but I'm not in the fashion business so I hardly ever turn it on... In that case I am obviously at home and switch to the connection of my phone.
