There's zero chance I'd put some random device from anyone, even a friend, on my network - especially if I knew that was its purpose. Sounds like a huge liability. Do people really do this?
This 100%.
I don't think this is being discussed enough but I frequently see a lot of landlords trying to make their contract more attractive by including an internet offer with the rent (this is especially useful for people that look for 6-months contracts when internet providers usually give you a minimum contract length of a year).
Tenants could technically do any kind of illegal activities by using that network. I've always wondered how and who would be liable in case someone uncovers something big enough to get the attention of law enforcement.
I guess this differs by country but it seems highly plausible that a legal loophole could exist, leaving the landlord unexpectedly responsible for the tenant's actions.
Not in any normal country.

The person doing the crimes, obviously. The cops would most likely never even contact the landlord, as they’d just show up at the address where the line is connected.
Not really, you aren’t responsible for what other people do without your knowledge and you’d have solid evidence that someone else was able to use your network.
Sure, if your friend was committing some horrible crimes it might end up being slightly inconvenient for you.
Just find anything plausible, for backup storage, or say, to share family photos with grand parents but it does not work on my home wifi because my ISP is blocking ports, whatever.
And about 'Warp', is it or is it not a VPN after-all? They mentionned they aren't a VPN, but that they build on wireguard ??
