Two reasons:
1. Google’s Material UI is a total dumpster fire and I use it only as a last resort.
2. Apple Maps integrates much better with everything else I’m using, so the experience is smoother (e.g., looking up an address on my laptop and then sending directions to my phone).
I keep Google Maps around as a backup, mostly for places of interest way out in the boonies, like hiking trailheads.
