If people don't want them to know their location then don't have a smart phone. Not just iOS phones, but every GPS equipped device out there...
Besides, name any company in the world that will allow you to use their software without accepting their terms... or a company that will allow you to use their credit card without accepting their terms... or a race track that will allow you to race without signing their waivers...
If I go on the run I'll ditch my iPhone and get a pre-pay - until then nothing to worry about.

i think you're missing the point. If you don't accept the new privacy policy, you can't buy anything from the iTunes store. Do you ever buy anything from there?
I have 2 smartphones, I have GPS turned off on both, and I still access anything I want whenever I want on VZW's and Bberry's website. A credit card company doesn't force me to have my every more tracked via a chip in the card and sell the info to other companies, and if I decline to be tracked they shut off my access to their website. Your analogies are apples to oranges (no pun intendend).
