These aren’t on the GPS band, and 2.4GHz is explicitly unlicensed — you can’t interfere with the 2.4GHz band because it’s in a state of free-for-all (why it was chosen for wifi and bluetooth in the first place!)
Pirate radio stations broadcast frequency modulated audio centered around 87-127MHz, aka FM radio. This is because they are intended to be picked up on FM radio receivers, which nearly everyone has access to.
This is a case of the FCC protecting future income from sale of FM spectrum, not any issue of safety or interference with anyone who isn’t a radio station.
