GARCH assumes constant drift $\mu$ - this imply $E[e^r]$ won't be constant and jump wildly. And it contradicts the reality, for stock prices $E[S_{t}/S_{t-1}]=E[e^r]$ doesn't jump with each time step. ...

This is a unique modelling situation we are dealing with. There are measurements $y_i$ taken at different times $t_i$. After the measurements are taken, we have experts telling us that at each $y_i$, ...
