I think the key is it does a great job at the human-to-human aspect, which I lot of location encodings fail at. It's a good demonstration of 7 ± 2 [1] in practice. In many cases when communicating this style of location, at least one person in that exchange is likely under some form of stress (lost, navigating an unfamiliar area, in need of help, etc). These locations encodings are a compression mechanism and the absolute goal should be to minimise the encode/decode complexity for the people tasked with that.
