That does not happen all the time though. I would say geolocation works nicely pretty much all the time.
Not sure why it's not possible to order a taxi, since you're not supposed to provide your own coordinates but rather a point where you want to be picked up.

You can also check [1]:
"through a collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, we expose the use of GPS spoofing in active Russian combat zones, particularly Syria, for airspace denial purposes. This is a capability scarcely reported in the public domain. Using data from a scientific sensor on the International Space Station (ISS), we are able to identify ongoing activity that poses significant threats to civilian airline GPS systems"
- works best on desktop though

Well, yes. It's happening. That's why there's a report about it.
Just news, mentioning this, back to 2016 https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/11/07/gpsoff/
Nice write up, also from 2016 https://meduza.io/feature/2016/10/19/teleportatsiya-iz-kreml...

Hope that helps!
P.S. And yes, I personally see this behaviour near Kremlin. It's almost impossible to order a taxi nearby.
