There is another aspect.
Privacy.
For example, I might be happy to be visible to other phone users in 50-100m, and my friends. I certainly do not want to be locatable by a random person over the internet.

This does imply some sort of server, to which I upload my position, and will push to me information about any nearby phones.

Also that publishes public key encrypted position, which anyone can download.

A static database simply can't really do this.
