If Microsoft truly stopped using the SSID "_optout_" directive in the 2016 anniversary addition of Windows10, then why then do they maintain this?

That site was kindly confirmed by Andy Burns in the Android newsgroup <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/wc35HXj1zDE/m/fo4KVBvnAAAJ>
Given 99.9 out of 100 people are not only incredibly ignorant but also unfathomably rude to everyone around them, I don't want to be one of them.
I am aware most phone owners are incredibly rude to everyone around them by uploading your exact GPS location & unique AP BSSID to Google, but are all the PC's around you also just as rudely giving your location to Microsoft?
*Microsoft supposedly _stopped_ doing that, didn't they?*
So why then, does Microsoft _still maintain_ that optout location database?
According to this, they're still doing it. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/learn-more-about-your-location-sharing-privacy-in-microsoft-teams-free-d97a9da3-eded-451c-8008-52f3a0661ba7
