That moment when you're on a train and get intrusive thoughts about sharing a personal hotspot with the same SSID as the train.
And then you get blocked by iOS because you have to set a password. 👀
I guess that explains why most public WiFi hotspots have a branded login page to not make intercepting traffic like this so easy. But I doubt most would notice or care if there's no login.
I think I saw on SN a guide about how to make a hotspot paid with sats... damn it, search on SN is really bad. I can never find an old post Maybe you could set one, with a mobile device sharing the internet connection from your iShit.

Oof, and since I think it's fair to assume that most people would simply click away any SSL errors a MitM attack doesn't seem so out of reach now. Or do some DNS spoofing so your fake site looks absolutely legit.
