That to me seems like micromanager issue more than an issue with thr software. There are plenty of good managers and teams where they get great benefit from being able to at a glance see if you're in office that day. In every team ive worked in its expected to update your status to display where you are working.
I'd like to not have to update my status as often and have it update automatically, save everyone a bit of hassle.
If we think about the bad micromanager situation a bit more without this they might be less comfortable with the idea of having people work from home so giving them this info helps them keep track better which allows them to give their team the freedom to remotely work.
