How are we able to estimate the Planck's constant at a much higher accuracy (44 per billion) than the gravitational constant G (120,000 per billion)? What is affecting the measurement of G?

If GR is right and what we indeed perceive as the force of gravity is the curvature of space-time, why are physicists still looking for the graviton? Is there something I'm missing?
