This works exactly the same way on iOS or any device that supports Bluetooth low energy, since it allows very fine grained location detection. Try it yourself.

This has caused some issues for covid apps since, to use BLE on Android, you need to request the location permission - which people were naturally afraid to do.

If this is truly a problem for you, your statement should be "Remind me to never, ever use Bluetooth". It is nothing to do with Android.

This isnt' an android thing. Allowing BT/BTLE scanning reveals extremely precise location.
