This was the case with Google Assistant too.

Google has this pattern of all or nothing approach.

Maps refuses to show your *current* location if you don't enable location accuracy i.e. if you won't allow it to spy on your WiFi or Bluetooth it refuses to show your current location at all. GPS, what's that?

We can disable notifications and even phone access but physical activity is the one permission that cannot be disabled for play services !?

Google apps have a lot of WTFs!
