The fuck does it need location data for?
Clicking on details specifies that it's the Coarse Location, with the reason given being statistics and marketing. Which makes sense, you might want to know the coarse location for user statistics. Now of course the user selects whether to share these or not, but if your app can support that, it has to declare the permissions on the store.
