That isn't true. Inertial guidance systems that work for appreciable flight times are too expensive. Many military systems do use GPS, such as HIMARS, Excalibur

If I had to guess, the reason why the above are jammed and the UMPK isn't is because of better integration with the launch platform and a shorter flight time leading to less inertial drift over time, plus a very large warhead to make up for inaccuracy.
