I think that's to do with how permissions work.

Having wi-fi access can technically tell the app where you're located so you need to give it location access

Which is stupid because it then also gets GPS access.

That's one of the features Google should have stolen from Cyanogen/LineageOS long ago which had permissions differentiated between precise location and approximate

Can confirm.

Now, I just need to know why my calculator needs access to my contacts.

You just reminded me of one particular calculator app which put "+" button behind a paywall

That's because it gets lonely and needs someone to text.

It's because one is the loneliest number.
