Any insight as to why newer GPS satellites do not offer similar capabilities?

The GPS project began in 1973. Digital signatures were invented in 1976. I'm guessing adding it on after the fact would have been very expensive.

There have been progressive improvements as new satellites are brought into service, and those end of life retired. Perhaps backwards compatibility?
