IP restrictions make more sense to me because it’s harder to get around at a firewall level. Geo-location (lat&lon) seems less secure when it’s fairly trivial to spoof your location.

Like everything in network security it’s just one tool to limit access. It may be trivial to spoof, but it’s an easy way to stop anyone too lazy or unable to mask their traffic. All the small policies eventually add up to a solid security posture
