• The most important is the legal aspect. All citizens of the European Union get GDPR protection no matter where they are currently located. A German citizen in New York gets the same GDPR protections as a German citizen in Berlin.
• Even if legality wasn't an issue, geolocation services offer an accuracy ranging from 95% (free version) to 99% (paid version). That's a lot of people whose location is reported wrong. Things get even more complicated when people are on planes and ships; in those cases the accuracy is exactly 0%.
