I'm fully aware of that as someone in the field. I'm not advocating for hooking it to your home WiFi as I don't even see the point. Furthermore, it's an RP3 that you can put on your WiFi regardless of its usage.

Regardless, the easiest thing for users to do is to have it go to their phone. If your phone has terrible service where you flash and you can't share WiFi via tether, then bring the device in and have it connect to your phone. The device only needs to be powered and not connected to the car. It's a ton of trouble to go through reconfiguring your Wifi each time to download a map that takes less than 10 seconds. The payoff even if you could get it to connect to the home WiFi is very little.
