New Amazon pickup lockers now require the app to access location and nearby devices. It used to be such that Amazon would just give you a pin that would open the locker.
I had to download the app and enable these permissions to get my package out of a locker. It felt gross and took twice as long. I deleted the app as soon as I was done.
By that same reasoning neither should Uber. It's just a convenience of not having to fill it out manually.
