I honestly don’t understand the scenario you’re defending against. Google still knows where you actually live and work trivially. If you don’t trust Google you should just de-Google completely.

I also don't trust my government. So should I just degovernment completely? Sounds just as practical or realistic for most people.
"Just move" seems to be a pretty popular sentiment, in that scenario.
As if the government doesn't monitor both non-citizens and ex-citizens living in other countries too.
You’re saying moving on from Google is similar to switching government?
Switching government and deleting google are probably on the same order of magnitude of difficulty for most people.
Have you tried moving on from Google, and preferably not to Apple?

In a way, yes, as google de facto governs and controls much of the internet.
Not GGP, but I suppose the general idea is: Granting permanent location permission to maps.google.com seems a bit more privacy preserving than granting it to *.google.com, assuming one opens maps significantly less often than e.g. GMail, search etc.
