Application vs accepting an offer are quite different - an employer doesn't need to know where you live if they aren't accepting you and you applied online. Though it's definitely the norm here in Germany to include the address on the application, too.
It's also that job applicants are such a ripe group for data theft; is this job real? Create a fake company site, post an ad, get personal info on a ton of people for scams, fraud, ID theft, etc. there are so many new companies, fake companies it's impossible to tell the difference often.
The less into you give earlier in the process, unless required in your country, the better. Generally companies using a real applicant tracking system are more likely to be legit but even then.
Always go directly to the employers site to apply (though this does remove quick/easy apply options for things like indeed and linked in). Your privacy or a job is a messed up choice.
