The term “security theatre” is kind of hip and making a comeback of late, but it’s debatable whether Apple truly intended to promote this feature as a security benefit to the public at large when they knew very well from the start that it had little to no real value and was simply performance art.
It’s equally probable and I believe even more likely that this is simply a case of a pathetic level of security software implementation. The reason I say this is because the vast majority of Apple’s customers know little to nothing about this feature-fail and have no idea what a MAC address is, well, other than to think that a MAC address corresponds to the location of their closest McDonald’s restaurant. Plus, nobody was ever asked to remove their shoes.
