confused on what you;re trying to imply here.
Apps that scan for networks properly like Fing legitimately use the Location permissions precisely because itโ€™s the only way to scan a network, due to how Google changed the API, with Location off and Wifi On/Off apps cannot retrieve your location using those at all. And with approximate location set, it will not be your precise location at this point.
Location using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can legitimately improve accuracy but it seems useless on GOS without the Google Location Accuracy or Network location so Iโ€™ll likely disable it.
