Personally I wasn't losing any sleep before knowing apps might be sending location data to advertisers. Why should I even care? But now what I find obnoxious is being nagged about explicitly approving every little permission to every app, even having to wait until the app wants to use it to approve it which was an especially stupid change. And now I don't even get to let apps use location data all the time from most menus, and when I do I get nagging reminders from Samsung trying to scare me into turning it back to "only when in use." The model on Windows where a program can do things a program should be able to do without asking was completely fine and discrete permissions for apps are an obnoxious waste of time in my opinion.
