Google location tracking can invade privacy, hackers say

Is this news?

It has been known for a long time that Google and Apple uses WLAN-networks and cell-towers to find the best possible location of your device. I can't understand the uproar. Apple seriously needs to expire the data in it's cache-file after some hours/days, but apart from that there really isn't a big problem here. Who cares if the location of your router's MAC-address is stored in a database? What can anyone possibly do with these data to harm you or your network? It's not like the MAC-address of your router is a big secret. It's broadcasting it ALL the time for anyone to see. Who cares?!
