And so? There are only a small percentage of apps (mapping/tracking stuff, basically) that need GPS. FTM, you can simply turn off the phone/remove the battery/leave it at home if you don't care to be tracked. And of course a certain degree of tracking is inherent to any cell phone, since the signal can/has to be triangulated by the nearest towers.
For a GPS built into a car, it would be pretty simple for the technically inclined to disconnect the antenna, and feed in signals showing it to be anywhere on Earth - or even in orbit :-)
