I may be out of date with the tech, but doesn’t carrier-level tracking only give you the cell tower that you are closest to? And even then, not always?

You can triangulate based on cells. In urban areas the accuracy is around 25m or was 14 years ago.

Triangulation is not the only option available to carriers, it is just the easiest/cheapest.
