Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn

I also closed my account recently because they wouldn't let me update my profile without providing a location.

I've been a nomad most of the last 5 years and everything I do professionally is over the internet.

I noticed this as well and consider such practice a dark pattern. Unable to update exsisting information without providing new information.
