xfinitywifi is not secure ... why would anyone use it?

Why would anyone want to attach to a nonsecure WAP?  Isn't the risk very high?

We only automatically connect you to secure Xfinity WiFi networks(XFINITY), not all WiFi connections are created equal. Some Xfinity WiFi hotspots are secure and some are unsecure(xfinitywifi). Xfinity Mobile always prioritizes connecting you to secure WiFi networks, however, when no secure networks are available, you can choose to connect to an unsecured hotspot. All data going over a secure WiFi network is encrypted so you can safely connect. Here is a link the gives an overview. https://comca.st/30oxMrC;
