That's such a ridiculous piece of propaganda. There tons of videos of FABs being used with meter precision to hit Ukrainian lines. The actual reason they're not being used is that it's a weapon for breaking dug in fortified lines, and Ukraine hasn't had a chance to make any in Kursk. It's absolutely incredible what sort of nonsense people will fall for when they have no clue on the subject. Here's a detailed explanation for those interested.

They do actually mention the applicability mainly to static front lines in the article.
Average consumer of russophobic media won't probably read anything except headline, even if because they are bombarded with huge amounts of such articles nonstop.
