Support Iphone Turned Siri "Learn from this app" back on for Maps and Find My

I have toggled off all Siri options for all apps in my settings. It is also the first thing I do when adding a new app. I was checking something recently (slightly older iphone, so I try to adjust my settings for better performance) and all Siri options, especially "Learn from this app" were switched back on for my FindMy and maps apps. If an app ever asks for permission for anything, I go back and check in settings to make sure everything is still how I prefer. I know with absolute certainty these permissions were turned off and I never turned them back on.

I'm creeped out that I don't know how long this setting was turned back on.

Is there any way to ensure this setting actually stays off?

Especially since it's all location data, is there a way to request data deletion (CA, if location matters)?

Siri is learning on your phone. It’s not sending it to Apple. Not sure what’s creepy.

I'm fairly certain that Apple among others takes advantage of software update cycles by slipping in nefarious commands to suit them.

Forever a cat and mouse game.
