The surprise isn't that OpenAI can figure out your location if they want to. The surprise is that OpenAI puts your location in ChatGPT's system prompt.
This isn't a surprise, people ask things all the time that are location specific. "Will it rain?", "what is going on this weekend?", etc. They didn't originally have location, I had to save it specifically as a "memory" when that was first added.
