If you hired an ad agency to run radio commercials in Texas and then get a bill saying "oh by the way we found cheap ad space in Tokyo so ran some there too, here's the bill", you'd probably question your relationship with them.

I understand it's not the same thing, but it sure smells the same

The blog author didn't read the docs. He signed up for a relationship and just assumed it would be different and now he's complaining about it. As I mentioned in another comment: From Google AdWords help docs it says "By default, location targeting includes both physical locations and locations of interest".
