You can also choose to share your location for a limited period of time with a group of friends.
FEATURES Easily locate friends and family Temporary sharing option Simple privacy controls Parental restrictions Free for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Because apple can do whatever it wants with its own app store. The rules apply to everyone else, not apple. :)
Also because people would complain why its not available the very second they turn their iPhones on.
