Sure, the app includes a UI to select a WiFi. That’s not what we were talking about though, right? You made the point that the System needs to store known access points, but that is probably still handled by the OS. The app only queries available access points and tells the OS to connect to one if the user clicks on it.
Also, logging WiFi connections theoretically does raise the severity of vulnerabilities because it stores metadata you wouldn’t have if you only store all access points you ever connected to. If you have an access point called „tabledance gentleman’s club guest“ in your access point list, I know you probably went there once. If you’ve been married for a year and I see that you still connect to it every Saturday evening, that’s a lot more sensitive.
