By any chance are you using a VPN, or a proxy server, any non-Apple "security" garbage or anything else that would prevent Location Services from working correctly?

For reference:

Control access to the location of your Mac - Apple Support

Manage Location Services settings - Apple Support

No vpn or proxy server just the weird

thing all other devices show location

on iPhone. I’m going to try to test it

with a public wifi see if that may shed

light
