Yeah I just seen that. GPS is literally the backbone of phones. Wild. Software is the only way to spoof and or disable the feature. Custom ROMs are the only method essentially to gain the control you need. G-OS, lineage, etc etc which means the device also runs leaner and battery lasts days. It'd really the best solution far as I can tell.
Any android phone lets you disable the GPS and use airplane mode, so custom ROMs aren't needed for that.
But de-googled ROMs do indeed have less/no data going to google, although the apps you install will be the same either way.
