If they don't want to fix this issue (maybe they find it's advantageous to let benign users find each other precisely), some kind of warning when you opt-in like "Warning: By enabling this setting, anyone around the world may be able to determine your location, such as your home address, even if they live in a different region or country." would be nice.
Not sure of the best way to word it, but making it clear that someone in a different continent may be able to see your location and address would at least make the full implications clear. Most users probably assume the risk is limited to people in their city (or a smaller area within it) seeing their location, and also may not necessarily be thinking about the address disclosure (even if that's arguably already obvious to some).
