Who said it was? Just because males don't exhibit a behaviour doesn't mean it's necessarily an evolutionary disadvantage.

I have stopped trusting automatic software and operating system updates, they take away useful features or break functional user flows or introduce unwanted AI slop too often. So I am very much back in the boat of software needing to justify an update for me to install it.

The real issue is not (just) this specific use case, rather it's the govt generally knowing where people are going and where they have historically been.
