I opt into it because I find it super useful.
When I go for long walks or bike rides I like seeing the route and calculating my distance, and having that done automatically without having to remember to start logging it in advance each time.
It's also super useful when I can't remember which day I last went to the gym -- was it 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 days ago? And I can decide how important it is to go today.
I just find having a record of where I've been useful. And it's a cool visual diary of where I've been. I like having it stored in the cloud so it syncs across devices. And I don't consider Google to be my overlord, just a tool I use.
