AFAIK, some German malls do that with their "free" WiFi and bury it somewhere in the ToS you accept.

But then they’d only be able to use it on the (small?) percentage of people who use that, wouldn’t they?

You can probably track MAC addresses of devices that have WiFi turned on, and purchase the MAC<->email database from some shady vendor. I mean, I'm just guessing, but I would not be surprised at all if this is being done.
