Although. it has edge usecases even for "normal people":
Eg. you suspect your coworker to be catfishing you on eg. discord, you know that he's in your city now, verify, then wait for him to leave for a vacation to somewhere abroad, check again.

It's not an edge case. Using multiple sources of information to paint a more complete picture is the norm. That's how marketing profiles work, for example.
This is actually pretty smart, and shows that this exploit could be chained with other information to identify a specific individual. This could also be used to e.g. check which world-travelling reporter is communicating with you.
