Seems hyperbolic we had logistics that functioned extremely well before we had customer location data for sale on 3rd party sites.

I don't follow what you mean by 'logistics in civilization' as that's pretty vague and amorphous.

Could you be more specific with maybe a single example of where my physical geographic location is electronically critical for a purpose that isn't elective/optional/avoidable?

(And I'm not just trying to be obtuse. I think you're touching on at least part of the 'heart' of both this conversation and that of digital ID verification.)

How does tracking the movements of individual humans aid shipping and logistics, other than providing traffic data to freight companies? How did we manage to have global supply chains prior to GPS being invented?

Edit: I assume I am missing a crucial part of logistics that you’re familiar with, genuinely curious.
