At least on GrapheneOS it does, which means when you have any number of apps using the play services location service, it’s basically on all the time, and I can’t fucking turn it off.
Sure, but my issue is the location indicator being on all the time. Denying it to play services just shifts the problem (and will probably cause app issues and extra battery drain).
Not sure about this, but some apps do cause additional battery drain if something fails to work. For example, an app is pinging a hostname to determine if its online, if it succeeds it waits 5 minutes before doing it again, if it fails, it tries again in 30 seconds. A pretty rough example, but this is just to say that its entirely possible.

You can take away the location permission for gservices afaik. Maps still works without it, resorting to good ole GPS if I’m not wrong.

You’re having GPS on all the time and worry about battery drain when disabling it? That does not make sense mate.

One service vs multiple apps doing it individually. The implications should be obvious.
I disabled it via an adb command I found floating around on the web a year or so back
Me too. As of the update before this one, it doesn’t work any more.
Yeah I think that’s due to google rolling their own implementation, I only get the blue notifs though, not the green
