Meaningless paranoia? If you already have a popular app recording this data would be fairly simple. And if this approach is practical then you've got personalized location data easily linked to identity. That's worth a lot of money to data brokers and their customers. Adding location information and especially long term movement patterns bumps up the price you can charge for a user profile. Selling everything you can get your hands on about your users to data brokers is a way to monetize a user base. Obviously getting location permissions is way easier, but it's good to know that apps without those permissions could still be selling your location data.
