How is this different from them calling up a known associate and asking them for my location?

Until there is real privacy enforcement here, and it's clear that location data is owned by the person being tracked and not some third party that happens to have their hands on it, I don't see this pattern going away.

I see a difference in scale. Calling up one associate to ask on one person's location on a single date is one thing. Calling up every person in the country to ask on their location throughout the last year is something else entirely.

I think privacy should be seen as a spectrum, not just a binary private/public.

Would that be legal without a warrant?

Yes you don’t need a warrant to interview witnesses or associates.
