I agree. In my area, the Apple maps show some roads which have no existed in decades. I'm pretty sure OSM was preloaded with USGS base maps (which are generally decades old) because when OSM was young, it too suffered from the "obsolete road" problem. Some of the errors I remember from the early OSM maps have been corrected in the Apple maps, but others remain.
