Do you do this for every show/film that is set somewhere outside of SoCal but obviously filmed there?

We're about even though, every time she sees a horse on screen she says "Why can't I ride a horse to work instead of driving our 20 year old Mazda?" Having lived in Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, and having mucked a few horse stalls in my day--I know why we 9 billion people don't still ride them.
There’s not that much in TOS which is distinctly SoCal, since even most of the planetside “outdoors” sets were soundstages, with matte painted backgrounds.
On a side note, there was a rumor that the Capricorn One movie was filmed on location too:
Well, there is a reason for that, and a reason why it is often more noticeable in older works:
Just enjoy the show!
As if you've never maintained someone else's code and didn't make any kinds of comments about how bad it was or anything similar. Just shut up and do your job!

Tech bro does not describe me (I agree they should have an eye kept on them though), I'm a 55 year old man who watches LHOTP on a 10 year old DVD player, has 10.5 years of Visual Basic programming, and wears sandals with white socks.
Last week I had to look up "sh*tpost" and "edgelord", and before that "know your meme" when those were leveled at me. Maybe people on the Internet and social media too need to understand, like TV show fans, that it is NOT reality. It also doesn't foster the kind of wonderful, 20+ year marriage we've had--we are BFFs forever my wife and I, like Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls in some ways. I also reserve my right to laugh at the incongruities of the Internet--I have a headache from laughing so hard at it today, so I will spare everyone more annoyance and quit for a long time.
The actress who played Nellie said she used to get hate mail from fans of the show, who apparently couldn't distinguish her from her character. (She said IRL she was friends with the younger Melissa, and some of the cast attested to how nice she was offscreen--both from a special feature on one of the DVDs) Man, we aren't that far gone. It actually is the best part of our day, spending time making fun of Landon's hair.
Oddly enough, they did do a couple in Sydney Australia - that, and Aussie lawyer "Mic" (Mick, ffs!) were probably an attempt to sell the show in another anglophone market.
