How has this anything to do with Pixel phones? As I understand it, this is about the Google Photo service. You can’t edit exif data in it, and location data is part is exif. You can, however, turn off location data in your phone, or edit exif data in an external app. Or am I mistaken?

If a photo is not taken with your phone, Google Photos allows you to manually enter a location.

Google Photos also allows you to remove this location.

If a photo is taken with your phone, the icon to edit or remove the location is greyed out.

Tapping the information will produce an error message.

The ability to edit the location data of photos you’d taken used to be there, but has been removed. I’m not the only person to notice this, there’s a support thread about it on Google’s own website: https://support.google.com/photos/thread/110092925/regression-location-no-longer-editable-if-the-camera-added-it?hl=en

Can you turn off location in the camera app? Because that’s what most people do. Who has location on their pictures turned on and then removes the location individually from photos in the gallery app??
