I don't know if they care too much about redundancy. The landing is still very much optional, after all. They have no redundancy in case of engine failure for this phase, which is probably much more likely. GPS is kind of inherently redundant anyway, as long as you have multiple receivers. You need four satellites for positioning, but way more than that are visible at any given time.
