I don't think it's generational, you're old enough to be my father (sorry!) and I too share the same indifference towards them. I think it's a personal thing or maybe it's based on a persons social circle. For some people where socialising is their life it makes sense for them to share where they are when they're there, it allows friends (assuming they "follow" these people) to know "oh hey, they're at x I can join them!" I'm not a social person who wants people to come join me when I'm buying stuff in real life and I'm sure you're not either, but there are people from every generation who are.
