    I hate that anything smart needs my location to be enabled before it will work even if it’s use is unrelated to location. Like my smart light bulbs. Why do they need to know a location ever

      They really don’t. Look into home assistant, there’s no reason the network packet controlling your light bulb needs to go across the internet at all!
