Google already allows you delete your account-linked location data: https://myactivity.google.com

Just be aware that deletion isn't instant though. From the TOS:

>We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

I believe that many on-line services are not allowed to delete user data for a significant period of time (because terrorism & child exploitation).
