At least on Android you can theoretically disable "google location accuracy" which stops it sending nearby hotspot mac addresses to Google. That's the only public route where google gets your location without you knowingly sending to it. You also imply that mobile operating systems are surreptitiously sending locations back to google/apple even if users have all location related features disabled, but I'm not aware of any evidence this is the case, and this falls into same category as "facebook is secretly listening to you" territory until proven otherwise.
