I know of no service that can use RINEX data to faster than 1 HZ.
Most only use one fix every 30 seconds.

What consumer do you have of RINEX that can use faster than 1Hz data?

Yup.

Conflating two issues.  Easy to make the interval in seconds, as a
float.  Very few GPS can work faster than 25 Hz.  nanoseconds is
pointless.

Nope.  But with no known use, not worth doing.
