Easy: a walled garden is much more valuable to its operator, and sharing the data would reduce (potential) profits. In other words, only Google can use the data it gets from its Waze, which gives it a competitive advantage.
Oh, you mean downsides to users? Never mind ;)
Would be interested in hearing legal opinions about whether this data would only be shared if the individual car owners 'opt in' or if the operator - Google - could mandate the sharing of this data while the cars are on the road.
Trying to think of downsides to an open shared platform of such data.
