> overlap in the locations of Pokemon Go Player data and any active Drone-driven Theaters of War would be a tiny sliver

Is Pokémon Go not played in the Middle East, India, Taiwan, Korea or Japan?

Which of those are active theaters of war? Pokemon Go wasn't that big in Iran or Lebanon and even there, there aren't any reports of significant drones deployed there.

The only place I can imagine is maybe Ukrainian drones in Russia. Still, not a tonne of data there to be useful (as compared to say Tokyo or New York).

As I’m thinking about this, I suppose Apple Maps and OpenStreetMap are about as problematic as Niantic’s data.

Yes, and star maps can do the same when its night and clear. This is way over blown.

or ukraine or russia, and ofc people in africa dont have phones or internet -_-.

ofc going by the entire surface of the earth its not a lot of places, but i would never call such a thing statistically insignificant..
