I started rotating my BSSID weekly after I learned Apple and Google abused it to track the location of people and devices.

Permanent hardware or software IDs, such as the Windows GUID or machine-id on Linux (systemd) are inevitably abused for surveillance sooner or later.

You have all the good intentions, but since no one else does this around your location, I don't think you're achieving anything.
