That's not actually letting you do something different. You can still do the thing on the website, it just requires SMS.
It implies they should at most only require SMS to use the app on a jailbroken phone. Or, you know, stop doing that entirely, since SMS-based authentication is horrifyingly insecure. It's literally less secure than email, and that's a pretty low bar. People should really stop using it.
Also, phones have no real way of authenticating their current location, so assuming that what the phone tells you is secure against intentional fraud is a pretty bad idea to begin with.
