That's true. Having said that, if you have an Android phone, Google knows where you are all the time not just in your car. Not sure how much data Apple gets but I would hazard they know where iPhones are located unless users turn location services off (otherwise how would 'find lost/stolen phone' service work?). Your mobile phone operator also knows, within a general area, where you are at any given time, and with 5G (smaller cell areas), that location is getting more granular.
A phone is more personal than a car (which could be driven by multiple people), and is with the owner almost all the time. Certainly many people seem a bit blasé about being constantly tracked, but trivially, if you want to be accessible at all times, someone has to know where you are.
