That's a good question. One answer is that in each of those cases there are alternative mapping/news/music services. An open-source, privacy-first device could be an intermediary that wraps other services, and if it got significant adoption, serve as a incentive for those services to compete on quality/price/privacy-awareness. There are even startups, like ours (Diffbot) that are building general purpose knowledge graphs for developers to use.
