Why can’t drones be designed to home in on and destroy jammers?

If I understand correctly, a jammer puts out a bunch of RF to overload a drone’s remote link or GPS signal. Why wouldn’t it be trivially easy to just home in on that transmitter and destroy it?

They can be, they’re called anti-radiation missiles.

They’re more expensive than off the shelf consumer drones though.

GPS jammers might be a bit tricky, just because it takes very little power to disrupt, on account of GPS signals being extremely weak to begin with.
