You only need general location data. The missile can do the final approach itself.

It's hard to hide a strike group. Even civilians are tracking them these days with commercial sattelites:

US itself talks about sending out hundreds of cheapish drones in a swarm (5 km spacing) to seek out all naval assets over an area.

Bullshit. The missiles have only limited sensors and maneuvering capability. Commercial satellites don't provide real-time targeting data. And cheap drones lack the range for this mission. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about
