You're making the common mistake of regarding high quality technology as inevitable. Just because it starts out as only of low quality[0] doesn't mean that it will improve, or fast.
Google Maps directions is pretty disruptive tech, right? Add 10 years of experience, lots of roads, lots of time to gather data, real-time traffic info, and when I ask it for directions from my current location in inner London to a place in central London[1] it still gives driving directions first, even though I switch to transit, walking, or cycling everytime.
But hey, innovation.
