I'd be more concerned with the fact that the increased quantity and precision of the antennas allows collection of extremely fine-grained location information.

This is an interesting thought. It wouldn't be more precise than the GPS tracker already in your pocket, but it does open up more info to people other than Google.

Also as a note, regular MIMO (not "massive") wouldn't provide location information as the scattering channel is generally considered random.
