OK, explain how that impacts the use cases of camping or hiking with others? You're in the middle of nowhere with, presumably, people you trust, and if you're intelligent, you're armed and observant, so what's the issue in those use cases? Perhaps it is less useful than I suggested if one is trying to pitch a no-hitter, so to speak, in terms of OpSec. To be fair, you overstate your case when you say "anyone can...". A disturbingly huge percentage of people can't even swipe a credit card through a point of sale credit card machine with the correct orientation on their first try. To your point, however, such incompetent people aren't who you're worried about.

They don't need to know how to do shit. Their incompetence is the real key. Their phone is probably already constantly uploading gps and every visible Bluetooth mac to half a dozen data brokers because they don't have any opsec. All it takes is walking by something you walked by. That may be fine in the woods but why keep that app around for that when there are better options that don't have the opsec risk it has?
