Seems like this should be easily fixable by making it the app developer's decision via CoreLocation.

If the app developer in turn wants to allow the user to modify that setting, then more power too them.

Seems like it is the developer's location, with the following note from the bottom of the link:

"(However, there's still the caveat that if any app triggers “Snap to Road”, all apps get “Snap to Road”.)"

which seems to be a poor implementation decision vs providing apps snapped or unsnapped location data based on their setting, but may be the result of some early-on ill-considered internal designs?

An indirect and undocumented decision, apparently, based on this somewhat confusing list of "activity types":
