So basically the same every Android phone does. Google has done this kind of tracking since 2007

Yes but now it reports to your employer.

I don't quite get the uproar for this.

The issue is your employees trying to force RTO. Whether this goes through or is cancelled - your employer will still want to track your RTO.

The only solution, if you are privileged enough, is to work somewhere else.

I did. I make less but I have more free time, and less stress. My employer doesn't give a fuck where I am so long as the work gets done.

Windows itself already does this type of tracking to determine your time zone.
