I'm actually a fan of plus codes and I wish they were more commonly used. I'm not much of a fan of Google (to say the least) but when something useful gets made it is useful no matter who made it. I am skeptical that all the considerations for the design are practical and that no business case benefitting Google was considered, seeing their track record on this. But so far I cannot find anything indicating that this is the case. I do wish more projects would use plus codes more evidently. They are searchable in OSM, but do not display prominently when looking at a location. Even in Google Maps, it is hit or miss whether you'll get a plus code when viewing a location. These are not a replacement for GPS coordinates, but they serve a good purpose. GPS coordinates mark a specific point on the earth's surface, whereas plus codes mark a place, irrespective of size and shape. They are both very useful and I think both should be universally adopted.
