tethering is far superior if you have the data plan anyway. but even apple lets you randomize your Mac these days, and on android it's trivial to if you get root access.

Android has allowed you to randomize your mac for a long time, and is currently the default setting. In developer options you can even toggle a setting to enable non-persistent randomization.
