This falls under "close enough" for me. Even with systemwide location off, cell providers and your ISP still know where you are; there's simply no way to stop them from knowing. If I fire up an app and Android gives me a popup saying it won't work with location off, then at least I know which apps are asking for it, and can enable the very few that I want to share that with because I get something out of it (like navigation).
