Check out https://vytal.io/. There are many more data points then just the geolocation api.

I think most people would agree that your so called additional data points are worthless for the purpose that most people would be concerned about location data.
Something like timezone "location" (which basically what your vytal website is showing) is simply not granular enough to be used for nefarious purposes.
I mean, if my browser is telling someone that my "location" is EDT timezone what good is that going to do them ? Its still too much of haystack to be useful to anyone.
Let's be honest here, "location" to most people means GPS-type location (i.e. you'll find me in this house on this street). Anything more coarse than that is frankly of limited use to an adversary.
