As a developer, you can include whatever map tiles you want in your application - if Apple Maps are bad for you, you can just switch to Google or Bing or whatever. Don't blame or abandon the platform for what is within your capability to change.

I'm pretty sure that will cost both money (likely prohibitive) and significant developer time.

  And switching to Android wouldn't?

    That's not how I interpreted the original post. To me it read that they are switching their lead platform to Android rather than their product.

In the situation described, the mapping was switched out beneath a developer without them even updating their software. Yes you can work around it but I don't blame someone for thinking that sucks.
