I apologise if I’m missing something, but isn’t this already achievable with a location-based Shortcut?

Yes, it is. There are so many tutorials but here is one simple and straight to the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKzGThOFy1E
While shortcuts are cool, I think the vast majority of people never use them and don’t even know what they are. Normies want to download an app and let it ride.

because the "codies" are not able to write accesible documentation. On which Apple developer website are those "shortcuts" documented ? Is there a link to those on an iPhone.

How do you mark and share locations with a shortcut? Setting up shortcut for one location is one thing, managing a bunch of locations is another thing.
Realistically how many locations do you have? On the upper end maybe 5? 6?

Shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes to set them all up.

You don’t even need a shortcut - iOS’s native focus modes can be triggered by location directly. It’s one of the configuration options that’s been there since they launched focus modes.
The app that could’ve been a blog post
Yes, and Dropbox could have been a handful of unix commands.

I don't think I would use an app for this, but as far as I can tell, it aims to crowdsource silent locations, something a shortcut couldn't realistically achieve.
