So incompetent. Like my old mechanic -- fixes 1 thing, breaks 3 things.
Got a tip for us?

Apple hasn't stopped signing any older versions of macOS yet. It doesn't follow the same model as iOS, so you can downgrade to any version that's compatible with your hardware.
Good I decided to wait one more day!
Even if I'm very curious to see if Apple fixed Photos that has several bugs with RAW files mostly, blurring the photos as soon as you use its tools or unable to download photos from the memory card or the iPhone
Keeping the bugs I have in 13.4.1 before updating to new ones....🙄

I know people like Craig Federeghi, but it’s time for someone else in charge of software. People didn’t complain about apples decline in software quality before he took over.
Another here 
Really wish Apple would focus more on the quality of their software than the pace of release. If that means a longer cycle so be it..

I am not experiencing this bug on a 2021 MacBook Pro (M1 Pro).
Location Services Menu is visible, has all the apps, and retains settings from the prior beta. I'm able to enable and disable without issue.

Are you on a Beta or 13.5? Seems to be a widespread problem
The problem is specific to 13.5.
EVERYDAY WE LOSE A LITTLE MORE PRIVACY.
GOOD THING A WAITED ON THIS INSTALL.
APPLE AND MS ARE GONNA PUSH EVERYONE TO LINUX FOR PRIVACY.

this is a bug. not a part of some grand plan.
I am also having this issue on my 2021 Macbook Pro 14-inch after updating to macOS 13.5. Not a single app is listed under Privacy and Security: Location Services.
Instead of practicing the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," it feels like Apple is having the line of thought of "if it ain't broke, break it."

What operating system (version and build number) is on your computer where this is working?
just re installed latest monterey on my 7.1 cant live with the buggy ventura any more. My Mac mini also on moterey also from a few weeks ago. I like monterey much better. system pref's for sure. Maybe in a years time ventura will be ok who knows.
To add insult to injury, trying to submit my Feedback Assistant bugreport just now, I got this.
If more people would do this, maybe Apple will finally notice that users are tired of their buggy beta versions released into production.
Back on topic, I can reproduce the issue on Monterey by disabling CoreLocationAgent.
But restarting CoreLocationAgent, disabling and re-enabling it in Ventura has no result. It appears to be running, but the system behaves as it is not.
Actually, it's quite the opposite. We did not lose any privacy. It's a bug...new apps can no longer access our location.
Can confirm it's broken for me too on my 2017 MBP.

Old apps with location permission enabled still work fine. You just cant change the setting for new/old ones.
