VFR pilots aren’t even allowed to use GPS for primary navigation. Those don’t fly bigger airplanes but visual flight is still taught and used to this day

I mean, neither do cars or planes.
Planes don’t? That plane flying off course and getting shot down lead to GPS signals being made accessible to the public.

It helps a lot, but planes were navigating the world long before the invention of GPS.
They also used to go off course and get shot down.
