Yea, this is a really good point that isn't well known.

We've improved GNSS significantly, but the technology to avoid collisions hasn't been widely deployed, even though it's orders of magnitude less complicated than high accuracy GNSS on the whole

So... a random dilution of precision generator could... save lives? ha.

It's not uncommon in uncontrolled airspace to set a 1 or 2 Nm offset to the right in the FMS. Then it will follow the high accuracy path but not the same as opposite traffic that's 1000ft above or below.
