It would also be really confusing to the user. I download a game or some other app where location isn't useful and all of the sudden I get a popup asking me if I trust this application with my location information. Then if I do, I just get targeted ads, not app functionality. Probably there isn't a local ad for a lot of places (or I just don't notice that it's local), so this just seems weird to the user.
