The only thing I can think of is if it was widespread it would be a security risk. Not exactly difficult to broadcast a stronger signal with the wrong time.

Similar problem with GPS being used for clock sync in mobile/cell base stations in much of the US. You can buy an (illegal) jammer off Ali express and bring down a tower for very little money.

I don't know where you live, but here broadcasting such a signal would mean having the police knocking at your door really quickly. Unauthorized broadcasts are taken very seriously

We're talking something the size of a cell phone that can be powered for days on a battery. Hide it near the cell tower and leave. It takes specialist equipment to locate it so by the time someone has figured out what has happened and either got that equipment in or just done a manual search it's been hours to several days.

Or for some mayhem just stick a few of them under seats on public busses / trains set to activate at the same time.
