Aren’t they able to get the ip just by connecting to any server?

  Yes, although they won't get the whole Wi-Fi scan list, which means no fine grained triangulation, and also no BSSID, but it's definitely imperfect. It's also very frustrating if you are using the Wi-Fi APIs for legitimate purposes. Having to explain to a user why you need location permissions in order to set up a Wi-Fi peripheral isn't easy.

    That doesn't matter at all if your request is being location stamped because it came from a Starbucks / your home WiFi IP.
