  Google pretty much kills it with map apps. Unless Apple keeps up people will eventually complain that they want to change their default map app. I think already there are companies making better mobile browsers, mail, calendar, etc. As people become aware of them, or Apple slips like they have with maps, I think they'll start getting more pressure to allow users to change their default apps.

  I agree with the first part. If Mobile Safari had the reputation to be a security nightmare - with public attention rivaling the iOS6 Maps release, or IE in its worst days - then people would probably ask for a system-wide alternative. But I don't think that Apple ever considered to cause drama about the Google Maps release, just like they didn't cause a drama about YouTube, or Nokia Maps, or whatever. That seemed more like Google trying to take a cheap shot at Apple's approval process.
