Something can be "not invasive" when only done locally, but turn out to be a bad idea when you share publicly. Not hard to imagine a lot of users want to organize their libraries by location in a easy way, but still not share the location of every photo they share online.
Definitely. I want to be able to search my Google Photos for "Berlin" and get me all the pictures I took there.

The location isn't just embedded in the EXIF tags. It's also embedded in the visual content.
I imagine people will get tired of their image uploads being blacked out pretty quickly.
