ok but this one is not cursed tho (https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/11268)

its valid privacy and security on how mobile OS handle permission

It is cursed because now the photo management app needs to ask for the permission to constantly track you instead of only getting location of a limited set of past points where you specifically chose to take a photo. Besides giving malicious photo app developers an excuse for these permissions, it also contributes to permission fatigue by training to give random applications wide permissions.
