Different device platforms, device brand/models and firmware versions have different feature control options supported. 

You can force devices to use GPS at all time only for devices supporting such feature-control option in Android+ and Android-Enterprise device-owner/managed-device mode.

Other device platforms (iOS, Windows, etc.)  do not seem to support this option due to privacy concern.

Hi,

These would be Android + devices.

I have "Enforce GPS Availability" checked.

The "Location Accuracy" feature shown here: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/script-for-turning-on-gps-location-service/ is not available in my Feature Control.

As of today,  "Enforce GPS Availability" option is available only in Android+ feature-control profile payload., and "Location Accuracy"  option is available only in Android Enterprise feature-control profile payload.

If you have "Enforce GPS Availability" checked and the profile deployed successfully onto your target Android+ device, you can check whether you can toggle GPS hardware off to confirm if the option is supported on your device.

No, they're all Samsung.
