All it does it checks in which location/building you are. While moderately intrusive I cannot really see a straightforward relation to home working - surely people don't pretend to be in the office when they are working from home?
Situation may be different if you wish to go longer term abroad without informing your employer who thinks you are still in the country, just working remotely. But I can see it as a potential legal issue anyway.
Those are all thing that can be controlled by the direct lead on any well run company.
I know from my own work that some mediocre middle managers wanted a rigid technological enforcement of the hybrid work framework and are probably dreaming about rolling out a "feature" like this.
Yeah, that's so much effort, I'd want to be paid extra for it.
