OK, I didn’t read the full text but I saw self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline and Hona Assistant and I’m sold!
Google timeline once genuenly helped me get my Swedish citizenship, but it also freaked me out how much data Google had about me.
I had to write down when I left the country and when I came back for the last 5 years or so, and without timeline it would not been possible because during that time I traveled abroad at least twice a Mont for a year.
Anyway it sounds very cool especially because I’m already having Home assistant set up for this but it doesn’t have this timeline functionality.

Before building Dawarich, I naturally extracted my data via Google Takeout and my mind was blown same as yours when I realized just HOW MUCH they know about me even when we’re talking location only. It was a big incentive for me to take control over my data, or, at least, to ALSO have it, same as many-many cloud provides and apps have.
