It's obvious that Google withheld or made it prohibitively expensive for Apple to pay for the liscence to google maps.
It does retroactively make the case for handling these things in-house, especially when the partner is a competitor. After years of giving Google valuable data to the point where it becomes a major competitive advantage, google presumably says "go to hell."
