I've never had an issue with GPS not working indoors. I did have that issue when using degoogled ROMs on other phones but GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5 has worked flawlessly.

I guess if I was inside a big brick/concrete building then it might not work? It seemed to work fine in my brick apartment. Anyway if I am indoors then I probably don't need GPS anyway since I am not traveling and hopefully know where I am already.

Many apps won't start when location is not available. E.g. Tinder. I guess usually people use Tinder while staying indoors.
