Land is large compared to the blast radius of a missile. You can't blanket the landscape with conventional weapons to destroy the land. You have to target individual units. What you can do is to semi randomly shoot into occupied territory, like with old fashioned howitzers or the London blitz. And while both sides did that, especially Russia shelling cities like Kyiv in the beginning of the war, I guess it isn't really effective militarily.
What I wonder though is why Russia doesn't use satellites combined with (dumb) rockets against moving troops, even if it is not very efficient. Does that mean they don't have much of a stockpile left?
