It's increasingly common for modern devices to use MAC address randomisation for privacy purposes, so the effectiveness of MAC filtering is becoming less and less useful.

Nonetheless, I’d encourage you to also send this feedback directly to Google. You will not receive a response, unless Google need more details from you, however the team are still reading the feedback.
