> Which google uses itself for ads

Do you have a source? Google providing a location-based service for Android OS functionality is different from using it for ads.

Take a look at recently unsealed documents from court about google location.
I am extremely skeptical in anything Google states that they aren't using for ads and / or user tracking. There's plentiful of examples proving the opposites and it is littered with "whoopsies". Remember the time they "accidentally" equipped their google street view cars with Wi-Fi scanners? It's old but still is true. That happens to me too every now and then. Or how they see themselves above the law with their Google Analytics opt-out plugin that is the complete opposite of what the GDPR states.
