Bullsqueeze! every aircraft chart in the world shows runway magnetic offsets. Airlines fly ILS or GPS.

The magnetic north pole is slowly, constantly moving. Every year, a few airports are affected by this and must renumber their runways. And when the runways get renumbered, charts like ILS and GPS (as you pointed out in your post) get updated to include that new runway number.
