I can understand this feature. At my bar we have to record contact details for every guest such that they may be given to government contact tracers if a COVID case is reported. Currently this is pen and paper
Nyc, indoor dining only recently opened, this and temperature checks are one the requirements, along with 20% capacity, no groups larger than 10, table service only
This is a legal requirement for some businesses. For example, some of our clients handle ITAR parts. (ex military parts that the US doesn't want shared with foreign nationals) For such an organization, hearing that the data export is easy (rather than a costly add on) is definitely a feature, even if the likelihood of such an audit is low.
It may be a trademark issue as well, since there's a very well known trust and former pharma giant (now part of GlaxoSmithKline) that uses the same name: https://wellcome.org/about-us

Workable solution for "who was in the office" to aid tracing, but the capacity part seems a bit off.
You'd really want to know ahead of commuting what the planned capacity is, and make a decision based off of that.
Otherwise you run the risk of travelling in and walking into an over capacity office. Surely better to prevent this than view a report about it after the fact.

Edit: Considering there seems to be a charity with the same name active in Covid19, this also seems to be a bad choice for legal reasons.

Some companies have policies against things like data on company personnel and visitors sitting in some random undefined cloud location.
