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
Well, you’ve not specified what shoot down incident you’re talking about but I’d argue the fault probably lies with the trigger happy air defenders not IDing their targets.
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.
