My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

Seconded.

And having each other's location is really helpful. I'm nervous if my partner doesn't know where I am.

Yeah my wife has MS and I worry when shes late that she is having trouble. And I go hiking in the bush so its good if she has my approximate location

There are options that don't use Google et al.
