Putting my tinfoil hat on, this explains why Google was okay adding a toggle to location access for apps on Android. They don't need your device to send them their location anymore, they'd only need you to be in range of an UWB or BLE device.
Google owns the OS; if they want your location, they don't need to care about per-app location permissions.
Google is still beholden to consumer privacy laws. I’m sure if you turn off location data in your Google account they won’t track you. The guys in the Room 641A will.
To ignore them or what ? None of the FAANG respect the privacy laws (GDPR for example). They just pay lobby money and insignificant fines from time to time and no government cares about it.
Unless you install something else.
