Because AFAIK the GPS hardware is connected to the cellular module, not to main OMAP Soc. Feels a bit strange design decision to me, I wonder what advantages it may have.

EDIT: Maybe the GPS can be simply seen as a part of the cellular module so they just took it as is and saved costs of including separate GPS when one is already there.
