This screams E911 compliance than stalker-ware but I could definitely be wrong.

I know E911 was a big deal in the telephony world and since Teams is a phone service, this makes sense.

I don't like it but it makes sense.

I am doubtful that Teams is going to fire off an e911 address change request to a vendor such as Intrado/West or Sinch every time you change WiFi.

Agree, one could imagine a scenario where a worker went to the bathroom in a not too busy wing, had an anurism, stroke or seizure which left them debilitated right when a fire alarm rings and people need to evacuate. As it is today, the person might die if not found in time, this assumes someone else knew where to look without similar technology.
