You mean like on Android? Hell nowadays you can choose "approximate location" instead of tracking people. App permissions have come a long way.

Apps can and do detect this and deny access certain features. For instance the mcdonalds app won't give you offers if you choose approximate location.
And there's nothing wrong with that. If users don't have the will power to close and delete the app when faced with such a situation then that's on them. An adult has the right to decide that their privacy is worth a 50 cent discount off a shitty burger.

All fun and games until the grocery app does the same.
