The "location tracking" thing is so absurd. Apps use the location tracking permission to stay active in the background. App Review says "why do you have this permission? you need to actually have a user-facing feature that justifies tracking the location to get it" so apps just add a pointless "my location history" feature that is not actually needed just to make App Review happy.

At that point, just allow background refresh! Everyone is just working around the rule anyway, why does it even exist?

The App Store is so dysfunctional.
