Connecting to Public Wi-Fi that's not 'secure'

I have a loaner Macan 4, well equipped. I have been in it for 2 weeks this coming Monday, and probably another week left.
In charging at the super charger, Iam sure that my Macan allowed me to connect to the free wifi for the shopping mall that charger is located in. this wifi doesnt have any 'security' to connect to, which is fine as all I want to do is watch youtube on the in car app on the screen using the wifi connection.

I am confident, but don't have access to my Macan 4s (Same Model year) to confirm, but I am sure I connected to this same access point and was streaming YouTube a few times, both before and after the 28.13 software update.,

This loaner car says that connecting to this safe public Wi-Fi is a supported connection.

The question is, anyone else seeing this behavior? is it the unsecured public Wi-Fi that's the issue is something else going on?
