The main intent behind this seems to be constantly reminding users that enabling geolocation is an option, and that it is an ordinary thing to do. Dear user, why don't you still use it, everyone does it. Just click the button!

Yes, because users don't like when things don't work, and they don't think about that time they blindly dismissed a permission notification and don't understand how to go undo that easily.

So we make it easier for the user to actually do the thing they intend to do. Seems good to me.
