There's an element of that but also the awareness that:
- Somebody we have no control over can turn it off.
- It's only one system, and fallible like any human endeavour
- It is very easy to jam.
But, GPS approaches are coming in Europe and the UK, they're approved now in the UK for some GA, - and once Galileo is fully available, a combined GPS/Galileo receiver will solve at least two of those three problems, and make the third harder to do.
