Apparently the entitlement is not required in a few other conditions, listed here [1] by Apple:

    1. application is using CoreLocation API and has user's authorization to access precise location. [This seems harmless – the app already gets the precise location anyway here.]

    2. application has used NEHotspotConfiguration API to configure the current Wi-Fi network. [This seems to be the scope of the article!]

    3. application has active VPN configurations installed. [This one is quite surprising to me!]

    4. application has active NEDNSSettingsManager configuration installed. [No idea what this is exactly, but it seems similar to the VPN one.]
