As other commenters have mentioned, allowing bluetooth access also potentially leaks your location. The alternative of not asking for permission isn't exactly better either. Therefore it's hard to characterize this as some sort of nefarious attempt by google to coax location information from you. >2. If you are using an app for device management (e.g. Google Home, Samsung Wear) it will be started next time you connect and then it's permission-madness all over again. I'm not sure how other apps work, but for the companion app I was using it continued to work afterwards, even with location permission denied. This persists across app closes and device restarts.
