The package name iscom.sec.location.nfwlocationprivacy i'd try looking for it on samsungs a samsung dev site for a description. Probably best to leave it enabled as it's a system package.

I found some info here but it's a user so take it with a grain of salt. https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation/issues/6...1763042105522.jpg

Should I just not worry about what is under my system settings? I know it sounds dumb but I'm genuinely curious

No, I believe you should. All I'm saying is that disabling system packages can lead to unintended outcomes. Use netgaurd to disable network access first to see if it meaningfully impacts your device use. If not then I'd say it's safe to disable. This is coming from a layman.

@awesomecat I agree with @atxzo . Disabling any system app can lead to unexpected issues.

You could always disable it for a time period. If wonky things happen, renable it.

Why are you fixated on a zero-byte system package? It's not taking up any space. I highly doubt that it's malicious.
