People running the hotspots should care, they could get prosecuted for unauthorized access of their ISPs network. Sharing you connection is not authorized. Don't like it, lobby to change the law but what they are doing is explicitly illegal.

The odds of that happening is negligible.

I suppose ISPs could try to make an example of a few customers. But I think that would be horrible PR as well as very difficult to prove.

How would they distinguish traffic that’s authorized and unauthorized? As their customer, how much do you think I can authorize? Can I grant my guests access? Can my smart lightbulbs access?
