Bingo. It's like the whole world suddenly forgot what the E911 Phase 2 requirements are: lat/lon w/in 300m at a max of 6min of after initiating the E911 call. This likely can't be done accurately, efficiently, or with high enough assurance from the network alone, so handset data would be required. Location computation failure *at the time of the E911 call* is unacceptable, and the failure rate on these handsets is already high enough that the *smart and efficient* thing to do is continuously update the location and have it available when called upon.
That iOS is keeping that data vs. wiping the older records is probably just a bug (wrong storage API or right API with wrong options). At least *some* historical data might be useful to refine the 'last known' position, so I can see keeping a short record, but years' worth of data is definitely a problem.
Whether Apple consciously repurposed this data is still unknown, but remember: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
