The issue with MAC addresses is that they are constant across networks

Besides, they have semantics (vendor ID) when in fact they need not.
While I understand the concern, this is also a *feature* that is widely
used.
When looking at devices seen on WiFi the vendor ID is often displayed
and used to figure out which device is which, to correlate problem
symptoms with likely causes, and many other reasons.
If this "feature" were to disappear there would likely be need to invent
and *overt* feature to replace it.
Thanks,
