I use a similar model to this extensively.

1. Hotels where you have to pay a "connection fee" you only have to pay once

2. I travel with a chromecast that can connect to my private network

3. I run wireguard, so all my traffic back is automatically encrypted

4. I can position this to get a better wifi signal, "boosting" the signal (via my private network) for all my devices

Yeah especially when not travelling alone. Some places are really exploitative with this.
