"Nobody will give a single fuck about yet another GNSS."
Exactly. Every smartphone will have support for three or four of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou-2.

A contest between 'cheap as chips, works with everything you need' and 'almost hand carved, massively expensive, and quite possibly buggy'.
