I'm on Android 8. I can toggle every service on my which settings without unlocking the phone (wifi, mobile data, Bluetooth, flashlight, airplane mode, screen rotation...) but if I want to turn off location services, I have to enter a security code. Turns right on, though, no passcode required.
Meanwhile high accuracy drains battery like a sieve. You can switch to low accuracy, but it will nag you to turn it back on high accuracy to use even the most mundane location curious app. And if you turn off location and turn it back on, it purposefully doesn't remember - back to high accuracy by default.
Can't you just track my every move with simple GPS, Google?

It's a security feature, designed that way so that a thief can't keep you from locating your phone remotely. Whether it's an effective feature is a different matter.
