Late to the party but I don’t understand this at all
I know people that track their grown kids
It’s odd

I think the main reason is to make sure im not lying about where I am.
If you feel this way about your girlfriend of 3 years, then you should break up due to your own insecurities. There's only two reasons you should even be thinking this:
1. You have gone and done things without her that sound questionable to her and were deceptive, or
2. She is possibly crazy and doesn't trust you for whatever insecurities she might have.
If option 1, that's on you. If option 2, break up with someone who doesn't trust you and isn't willing to work on regaining the missing trust.

like if I were to get kidnapped or something
Years ago I knew of a person who went missing for a week. They killed themselves. No one knew until they realized they had gone to an old property that the family had owned.
Here's a slightly more practical example: you can be outside exercising, you pass out, fall in a ditch or something to that effect. You go missing. You are found with help from your iPhone location.
Not every reason for sharing locations is practical. It does feel weird having someone know where you are at all times. Wait til you find out that just logging into TigerDroppings shares more information with the government and advertising agencies AND has more of a effect on your life than your girlfriend knowing where you are.

ETA: Its actually come in handy. When we were dating, my wife (girlfriend) at the time got pick pocketed by a little Dindu nuffin while she was shopping. We were able to track the location to her phone. Thankfully they didn’t leave the shopping center. She went home and brought her Ipad after confronting the parent of said Dindu and made her phone ding from her Ipad.
You can do all of that with “find my iPhone” without constantly sharing your location with your SO.

My parents take comfort in knowing that I'm home safe and sound. I'm a new parent, but I understand why they feel that way. I have a hard time being away from my daughter when I work less than 2 miles from her daycare. The first couple of months in, there was that shooting at a Nashville school shooting. Immediately I panicked. I wanted to KNOW my daughter was safe. Deep down, I "knew" she was because no way would it happen there.
It's not odd. It's a parental thing.

My girlfriend of 3 years wants us to share each others locations on iphone.
either you've done something sketchy and she thinks you are up to something, or she's already beaten you to the punch by cheating on you, and this is her projecting her guilt/shame...
no woman on earth just up and decided that locations need to be shared for that piss poor reason she gave you... straight up homey, you may want to start asking some serious questions

Totally reasonable. Happens all the time. Hell, I was kidnapped twice just last week!

Wait, you, a grown adult with your own children, shares your location with YOUR PARENTS? Please tell me I misinterpreted this.

I got hammered at a holiday party and was basically staggering around the quarter blackout drunk till i handed my phone to a bartender.

I do a lot of hunting and fishing alone so I can see where it could be useful if something were to happen. She set it up on my phone also but I dont believe ive ever opened the
My grown children and significant others also location share with each other when they are all travelling to meet up and forget to turn it off and then mess with each other.
We are not sleezy cheater types though.

"Safety reasons"
When you have seconds, cops are minutes away.
Mommy fantasy blogs and Lifetime movies aren't real life.

She sounds a bit insecure tbh
I share my location with my wife all the time but it's usually because I'm hunting. She never asks me to, I always do it so she doesn't worry. She thinks that knowing where I'm at if I'm dead in a ditch will make me less dead in a ditch.

I’ve been married for well over 30 years and I wouldn’t do it.

I don't care at all, but it's fricking weird, unless you're 17 years old with a kid.
