  That would only work if the bad guy has physical access to your phone
*and* can get *into* that phone, i.e. he has to have the password/PIN/
fingerprint/etc.. That's exactly the reason why for example bootloaders
are locked, i.e. physical access is not enough to get into an Android
phone.

  So there's no valid reason for the legit user of the phones not to be
able to transfer the Wi-Fi settings/password (or other passwords).
