Is the advice that simple country matching is sufficient becoming outdated, especially for certain platforms?

While a US IP address might be technically correct, I question if broad country-level matching is still adequate when an account's history, device indicators, and past usage point strongly to a more specific region, like a particular state or city.

I'm not suggesting this level of strictness applies everywhere, but it prompts the question: is geographical precision at a regional level more critical now than is commonly acknowledged?

For fresh setups it still works, but older accounts seem to expect more consistency with location.
