I use Apple maps almost exclusively, except when I rent a car on a trip sometimes. There are still some goofy things that Apple does (or doesn't do). Like several times in a certain rural area, I had Apple nav tell me to exit at the Nth roundabout exit, except that it didn't count a farm driveway or agricultural access roads while I did count them, not knowing any better. While the nav of the car I was renting did count those as exits.
I can understand the perspective of not counting non-public roads. The ag access was clearly marked as a road for ag/forestry but it was still a road that had a direct access to the roundabout. On the other hand, the driveway was not marked in any way though you could sort of tell it was a driveway.
But when you are driving, you are not necessarily evaluating whether this roundabout exit is one you can use or one you should or shouldn't count.
It was interesting to me that the Apple nav was harder to follow in those cases than the car nav. Before these incidents happened, I am not sure I could have guessed at which would be better.
"Don't drive on other people's private driveways so don't include private roads" is a reasonable heuristic to follow. But "count every road whether or not you might use it" is also reasonable.
