Apparently Strava has complained about it:

(That blog isn't Strava, but it quotes a Strava customer service person discussing contact with Apple)

I guess if Apple doesn't change the feature when requested by activity tracker companies they aren't going to change the feature.

That's somewhat ironic, considering Strava does their own form of 'snap-to-track' normalisation on GPS data. They have to, in order to do leaderboards on segments, at a guess, but still...

At least they snap to what usually are cycling tracks and are not trying to put you on the motorway ...

Also, as far as I know, they only do that to determine the segments, they won't change the actual data of the track.
