As we wait for Collections to widely launch, Google is rolling out “local recommendations” for the Play Store.

You’ll see a “Want to see local recommendations in Google Play?” prompt. Google explains how “Play can use your device location to recommend apps, offers, and other local content that are relevant in your area.”

Google has our location data anyways, not sure what the difference here is.

Under GDPR they can't use it, unless you give them consent. They obviously do, but they can't be too obvious, otherwise they'd have to pay huge fines again.

Yeah its a pain now often "can't do x" actually means "can't be caught doing x". Even getting caught sometimes doesn't mean much

Yes, it doesn't mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android's $.
