Not guessing no, but I distilled what they said unfavorably. My understanding was that they thought they could not communicate to their customers the complexity of how bluetooth can be used to infer information about location. But somehow this communications barrier meant that they thought it was better to expose GPS data too? - Hence why I feel justified treating them unfavorably in this case. It was just an absurd way to reason that they presented. It should have been obvious that it's better to protect as much data as possible when the user often has no choice but to enable bluetooth.
