One of the first bits of infosec advice I give to my non-technical friends and family, when they ask for it, is to turn off background location access for all apps on their phones.

Needless to say, I know plenty of technical people who don't care about it.

because someone made background location access a "necessary" part of the the bluetooth stack?

The cost of opting out is very high.

		Modern people seem to be incredibly weak and dependent. "I can't protect my freedom if it means giving up bluetooth!" It almost reads as satire.
