Jet Stream wake turbulence

Wondering if pilots flying the north atlantic could provide answers to the following... Given that GPS has led to aircraft precisely following jet stream routes and thus each other across the north atlantic, why aren't more airlines following recommendations for randomised lateral offsets? This would certainly reduce the now common mid-atlantic wake turbulence experienced on most west-east flights. Be interested to hear pilots thoughts...
