This is a useful feature for finding out if your coworkers are in the office if the environment is hybrid. Companies don't need this feature to go big brother on employees, they have badge logs and network logs for that already.

The issue, IME, isn’t corporate knowing, it’s managers across the board making big assumptions based on spontaneous observations.
Communication is the ultimate solution, but that solves location awareness as well. Unfortunately, once someone gets something in their head there’s a wall of prejudice before you get to communication, and appearances create unwanted dialog between managers.
So firefighting with another team looks like you’re faffing off by the cantina, and the hero-mode 15 hour WFH crunch that saved our bacon looks unfair and improper, and now it’s a discussion... It’s not just doing the job, but also making sure no one three departments over develops feelings about how that is presented internally.

There's a different between being "able to" get an information and "easily have" an information.
Logs still require someone to aggregate them, analyse them and present them in a form that's easily accessible and understadable by managers and also always up to date.
Teams will make all of this available without the company having to spend resources and manpower.

Do you need to enable location on your phone for this?
I don't want my device on work wifi at all.
I barely allow their email to hit it.

The roadmap link only gives "Desktop" & "Mac" as the platforms at this point.
