I think the minority opinion is those who don't like this. This group is much more vocal about their privacy, while the other group is either okay with it or blissfully ignorant. I do prefer an opt-in default though, because the blissfully ignorant shouldn't have to bear such a responsibility.

I too really like this data, specifically location history. It's come in extremely handy for a number of reasons, whether finding a restaurant I really liked but forgot the name of, finding exact dates and times when I was in certain places (which is handy to know if said place had a COVID-19 outbreak, for example).
