Interesting, on iOS it didn't even ask to use the location.

Do they do it because they can? Haven't used Android in a long time, but I had the impression that they also introduced finer-grained permissions, as opposed to blanket approve / deny everything the app asks for.

Android definitely has fine grained permissions. In fact my phone asks me each time a new app wants to use my location. Interestingly enough, I don't recall seeing a location prompt for Google's services

I don't recall a prompt for Apple's services, either. But you can revoke the permission, at least for some of them.
