The original GPS designers where sending NMEA-0183 data out to devices
that accept and use NMEA data.   GPS was not the first to work with
NMEA.  Lots of other instruments also output NMEA.   I doubt they ever
would have envisioned people using NMEA data for precision timing.
Typically if you want to do precision timing you's use a GPS that
outputs some binary data format.  NMEA-0183 does not have flow control
