Could you see Liz Truss denying Number 10 Downing Street being a Wayspot, or Joe Biden approving a new photo for The White House? (Sorry for politics heavy, you can provide better examples than I can, I am sure)
Even if not, what scenarios do you think they would encounter whilst doing Wayfarer, if you want to add a layer of fiction to it?

When PokeMonGo was new, South Carolina's governor played it. A cranky gardner didn't know, and didn't like the kids running around, and got all pokestops removed from the statehouse grounds. The governor tried to get the decision reversed, but Niantic wouldn't. That governor was Nikki Haley, who went on to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. I hope the U.N. building had Pokestops.
EDIT: She's a potential 2024 presidential candidate... does the White House have Pokestops?
Yes it is a Wayspot.
If they get in, make sure they scan it!
Surely it can be reached in PoGo, what with that double interaction distance..... 🤣
On a slightly related note, there's this guy who features in 13 Reasons Why who actually plays Pokemon GO and got to Level 50 very quickly, and he happens to be one of my favourites.
I'm sure at least anyone would have noticed whether a celebrity or famous person has played Pokemon GO, you would be surprised to the extent of how some stálkers/obsessed fans go to figure out someone's secret Snapchat or Tiktok handle or whether someone's trainer/agent name might resemble a celebrity. Except when they don't; we have two active Ingress agents locally named KevinRudd and JuliaGillard, both the names of former Australian Prime Ministers.
If one can determine that a famous person or celebrity took the time to reach Level 37/10 in Pokemon GO/Ingress, then maybe apply the same to Wayfarer. If Zac Efron created Pokestops under a pseudonym, I'm sure it would be figured out quickly. Maybe try looking around for suss looking trainer names in Hollywood? But most likely, the amount of famous people who even slightly interact with Wayfarer is probably nearest to zilch.
I mean, y'all don't think I'm famous?!?!?!
didnt Kyle MacLachlan play PoGo?
The amount of times that @BlameJamal-ING mentions your name, it’s plausible.
Putin?
