Source says that Android phones don't.  (and great thing about open source is that you could remove it if it did)  Then again, maybe vendors stick their own, no-one knows.

Didn't some court case make jailbreaking iPhones legal?

Not necessarily.  Considering how easy it is for peoples' computers to get trojans/zombified, they don't necessarily know where you live.
And even if that someone knows where you live, you still may not want them knowing where you've been.
Also potentially problematic if you've got a company issued must-always-carry phone, and say, you walk into a competing firm's offices for whatever reason...

I guess it's not an issue if you don't mind the equivalent of having cameras everywhere and certain people having access to all that info. (hence privacy concerns)
