Use grapheneOS on your phone, it scrambles your MAC address for every interaction.
Your MAC address isn't transmitted over the Internet
It doesn't have to be "transmitted over the Internet" for it to be a privacy concern.
A mobile phone broadcasts its MAC Address anytime it's in Wi-Fi range if the user doesn't disable it, which means the local businesses you frequent have a record of your MAC Address and its activity unless you disable Wi-Fi.
And, nowadays, those local businesses often outsource Wi-Fi management to an MSP, which can then combine records of your "check-ins" to different places and sell it to government agencies, advertisers, and even private investigators.

grapheneOS randomizes those scans and adds a very minimal level of security through obscurity.
That's a good point. Wish I had a Pixel phone to try it on.
