A fair criticism, but who is teaching that? When the PPL and CPL syllabi are hellbent on teaching pure map-and-compass DR, and electronic navaids only for lost procedures, then the IMCR and IR syllabi use solely old fashioned navaids without cross-checking against visually, and virtually nobody is teaching use of GPS - most training environments are teaching approaches that are utterly different to the best practice that you and Bose are proposing (and with which, by and large, I agree).
