I'm not a user of Grindr, but isn't the real time location tracking a feature that users actually like?

Yes. "Who else in my structural engineering tute is gay?" was one of the killer apps for GPS on mobile phones.
The real-time location tracking is very central to the app. It’s a grid of people organized by distance.
It’s how you try to find out if the hot guy across the bar might be up for it.
