Which is why all sorts of surprising bits of Android won't work if you have background location services turned off. Or at least that used to be the case, back when I had an Android phone. It was clear that Google want to track your location so they can sell you location related ads, but also so they can do real-time traffic status for sat-nav and keep building their database of all the WiFi hotspots on the planet for aGPS.
Heaven knows what else they do with that stuff - and of course because Google write the OS (and their Play Services is increasingly a giant digital-blob) you've no idea whether it's even possible to fully turn this stuff off anymore.
