The speed increase from Fiber is cool. Brute forcing things by digging up streets and laying tons of Fiber seems like a lot of work for incremental gain.
Streetview seemed like an excellent idea to me and is a Maps feature I like using (which would be even better if the pictures were more detailed and VR-/life- like). Buying or renting a bunch of cars/planes to manually take those pictures, however, seemed like a stupid idea (dumb way to do it), like another brute force approach, and like them trying to grunt their way through the problem using large amounts of cash.
Some may like such approaches, but I'd see them as inelegant and a waste of money (how it's implemented, not the actual idea).
