Seems like you answered your own question there. Why would Google make a good maps app? So that people on ios use it and they can show them sponsored places.

- Samuel_Michon 14y agoIMO, a Maps app with ads or ‘sponsored places’ is a shitty app. I will always choose a paid app without ads over a ‘free’ app with ads. That's also the main reason why I backed App.net. When I wrote about a ‘good Google Maps app for iOS’ I meant one that has feature parity with Google Maps on Android and contains no ads. Up until two years a go, the Maps app on iOS was such an app.
