It doesn't change anything, but as the Uber engineer above lists, they have rational reasons for wanting it.

I just don't have any rational reason to want to give it to them, so I'll be disabling GPS entirely. But I've mostly stopped using them anyway - the scummy corporate behavior bugged me, but not enough to boycott. And then a driver nearly physically attacked me over, as best I can tell, mishearing something (although I'm not really sure). Those combined, along with a general dislike of the gig economy and I've already mostly ditched them - Uber feels somewhere between sketchy and icky to me. Used them once in the last ~6 months, when the Lyft app forgot my password and it was late.
