They are spying devices. With the right intercepts or malware on only a few phones you could probably work out a great deal about dispositions, intentions etc. Certainly about morale and other issues. The countries where the data is ultimately stored (pictures with GPS co-ordinates attached etc etc) can of course stick their hands in the till any time they like.
Always interesting when I show android users what comes up when you Google location... Google location uses base station triangulation rather than GPS and is blinking accurate.
IOS users have the same problem, except all their data is kept on a file on the phone....
