it's not that 'look around' is not important and has no priority, but that it's incorrect. if apple had solid POI/place data, then they could work next on improving look around, indoor maps, and 3D models, because that does add value, but not as much as accurate POI data, hence misplaced priorities.
yelp is was a smart way to get a jump start on place data, but apple should have spent much more time and effort (and some of it's $100B+ warchest) on getting this to a much more useful place on their own, especially if it really has designs on challenging google in the autonomous car space.
as a product manager, i can only shake my head when i see such a basic flubbing.
