You can use it to set different policies per network, say fixed for your home network, but random on public access points. Some of the GUIs don't support it, so you might need to use nmcli to change it.This is good information, thank you.
Although everything I worked through yielded a working wifi on the stock firmware (which did not randomize the MAC), once I let the phone apply all the updates the MAC randomization was turned on.
I'm really glad I ordered the pinephone that came with the USB-dock... only way to execute the control commands in the CLI/terminal "text editors". I had tried using one of the GUI editors on the phone, but that didn't work as there didn't seem to be a way to pass sudo authorization to write out some file changes.
