You're free to boycott the system, but most GPS users are completely ignorant about how the system works, much less who launched and operates the satellites.  To further complicate matters, most low cost receivers are one-size fits all where the user doesn't have a multiple choice checklist of which system to use.  As mentioned in the article, if you want a dual-system device, you're usually getting GPS/GLONASS...and paying >$1000 for it.  These are devices for professionals, not some teenagers cell phone. ;)  As a professional GPS user, I'll accept greater accuracy...no matter who provides it, as long as it works.  Practicality overrules politics most of the time.
