Why does the app require access to your location to use WiFi to activate a WiFi pass?

But if someone's going to check at 0800, see FIN 123, then encounter a delay, see 456, and also see 123 is flying elsewhere, they're going to make a stupid complaint.
How many of these people were looking at the FIN vs seeing that their inbound was coming from YYZ at gate C43, now their delayed flight is showing inbound was from YUL at C47? I'm not sure they've actually solved the problem they think they're trying to solve. (If our postulations about their motivations are correct)
