Google requires this permission to do anything remotely location-based and uses it extremely liberally. I shouldn't have to agree to have them link my photos to the restaurant I'm in just so I can save a home location for driving directions.

It doesnt post anything without your permission. And you can long hold the notification to suppress and never see them again. It's not that big of a deal
