WifiConfiguration getRandomizedMacAddress() returns default value 02:00:00:00:00:00

I understand that Android does not want to give access to the actual MAC address due to security concerns. But I don’t understand why even the randomized MAC address can’t be accessed programmatically especially when this randomized MAC address is visible and used by other network devices. I tried WifiConfiguration().getRandomizedMacAddress() but only got back 02:00:00:00:00:00 in return.

Why does WifiConfiguration’s getRandomizedMacAddress() returns default value?
