Regarding location for the purpose of determining what language to render the app or website in: the article skips over the fact that users can configure their preferred and fallback languages in the browser. It's perfectly possible to access that in JavaScript and render the app or website accordingly. You don't need location information for that.

Most websites seem to ignore this header and just show you whatever their geo-ip says.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
