When we speak of GPS _usage_ in aviation, we are specifically and

I'm not sure who "we" are, but GPS is a navigation system, not just a
receiver.

Considering where you are posting this, it should be clear that "we"
refers to "pilots of real aircraft". Even if you couldn't have figured
that one out on your own from the snippet that you responded to, it should
have been obvious from the rest of the paragraph that you chose to snip.
To make it plainly clear, VORs, NDBs, Loran, et al are also "navigation
systems", but the only components that pilots typically work with are the
receivers, just as for GPS.
