Sounds like a design flaw. If you can’t manually set a location, then the app is broken. I turn off and deny location requests for apps and websites, as most people should, because it’s often a massive privacy risk.
But then that opens the door to anyone creating fake local ads by manually entering a fake location. If you do t want to have your location shared on a location based website maybe you’re in the wrong place. My two cents.
This door is already open, as GPS location is easily faked. Android, for example, has an easily-accessed developer setting for manually specifying a device location.
