I’m not so sure your example is the best at “bad common sense” - I can see a ton of use cases where this is useful for a lot of users. For example, you live in the suburbs next to a highway, and your route home is usually 15 min. You get the notification and see today it’s 30 min because there is an accident. Instead you take the back roads or wait at work a little longer for it to clear. The directions aren’t the value, the time estimates are because in your mind you can’t know current traffic conditions of the highway. It’s a replacement for the 4:30 PM traffic updates on the radio station.
Also it works well with the “share ETA” feature where you can automatically share your ETA with family when you start directions home.
And anecdotally, my google home does the same thing at 5pm every day...but it gives me directions “home” from “work” when it is actually routing me to my old house which I moved from 6 months ago. My home address is updated and the old one removed, so
