Description
The fitbounds parameter appear not to work when used in choropleth mapbox. The only way I found to pass it to the Figure object was to use the update_geos method.
The following is a sample of the code to show the parameter used:
fig = px.choropleth_mapbox(
df,
geojson=self.geojson,
featureidkey=self.featureidkey,
locations="location_code,
color=self.metric,
mapbox_style="carto-positron",
opacity=0.4
)
fig.update_geos(fitbounds="locations")
When calling fig.show, the plot opens to the (0,0) location in Gulf of Guinea.
Why the fitbounds parameter doesn't work on choropleth mapbox?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided px.choropleth_mapbox example and inspect how fitbounds is handled by choropleth_mapbox versus update_geos. Trace the figure-generation entry point and confirm the map centers on the supplied locations instead of (0,0); document a focused regression check for that behavior.
