I suspect it's pretty benign and safe but I don't need it so turned it off on the off chance some exploit gets introduced that I am unaware of.

I still turned it off but one thing this "feature" does is helps track those "tracking tags" like Tile that you can buy and put on things like keys, dogs, kids back packs, etc. The more phones, devices etc that have something like this turned on, better the tracking works as the tag can say "I'm here" as it passes.
