It is pretty lame on Verizon's part. Like many corporations, decisions are based on the assumption that customers are cows that need to be milked - I don't meet the "system requirements" for the wifi connect shim that is required for hot spot connectivity - so I will not be using it.
Even if I did, I would choose not use "wifi connect" - as smells way to much like a user private data collection tool.
If indeed it is, it would good if its true nature were exposed - and perhaps prompt mass user outrage and the inevitable congressional inquiries.
Perhaps a Verizon representative share the Verizon party line on what "wifi connect" is for, as it obviously not needed from technical perspective.
