This is panic over nothing. There is no personally identifiable information being sent with your location, and the location is made to be imprecise.
There’s a reason NOT to do something if I’ve ever heard one.
Just because some perverted minds consider something "normal" doesn't make it "normal" to me.
Doesn't make it right.
Most web servers log your whole IP yet people don't freak out about that
Because people are unaware of that, or its implications.
Just because it is normal in marketing does not make it okay. I am increasingly of the point that marketing, by itself, is not okay.
In my browser, it is certainly not okay. I attempt to practice memetic hygine, so I do not want to see ads. Not wanting to see ads, and having some actual privacy in the first place, is why I use Firefox.
I am not trying to make a logical argument. That would require an agreement on a way to determine objectively whether something is okay or not. Unfortunately, humans are subjective beings. What they believe to be right and wrong is subjective.

You say this yet you end your post with marketing. You are adverting Firefox. Marketing happens everywhere and trying to escape all of it is a fool's errand.
