I thought I was going crazy trying to troubleshoot this. Top results for every search were gaslighting me about how I only had to go to Privacy and Security > Location Services, then either turn it on globally or for the specific app I was having issues with. This bug means you can't provide your location to any website, at least if you use Chrome. Insane! I hope they push out a hotfix to get this addressed immediately.

macOS Ventura 13.5 Breaks Location Services Permissions for Apps

Now that 13.5.1 is released, I see evidence that they were not sitting on the fix, but took over three weeks to find and test a solution. My reasoning is that if they were sitting on the fix it would be because they were going to include it in a release that had other changes as well. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213268 says that the only thing in 13.5.1 is this fix.
Definitely not ironclad reasoning. But my suspicions of their being unable to easily fix this bug is reinforced.
