I'm wary of doing that -- I know a lot of people leave their ESSID's set
to the default value, leaving the BSSID as an increasingly necessary
discriminator. Even though one could (and should) use "-o bssid" to see
the BSSID at that point, I think the more likely reaction is to presume
that there's a bug afoot.
You and I seem to have very different views of what an average user
might find useful, I guess. I don't recall other platforms I've used
making the BSSID a particularly prominent piece of their display, but
then it's been a while since I've looked.
