Answer to the first question - I mostly lurk and have not received this notification from Safari at this time.

However, I would like to know why this website (and many others) need my location data.

This website does not ask for your location, OP pretty clearly has malware on their phone. This site uses a measly 150 lines of JS and none of it involves location. Feel free to see for yourself:
