I think it's because they're not sure they'll hit the rich assholes or pro war politicians. If they hit mostly NPCs it will be used as propaganda. We have seen cars of russian generals explode etc. So I think, if they can be sure, they will do it with a precision strike, but just for example dropping a bomb on the kremlin when nobody important is there is probably considered wasted ammunition for destruction of a historical site.

Usually all the best defense hardware is concentrated around the elite. It'll take a lot of effort to punch through. That also means Russia's critical energy and manufacturing is less defended now.
