Sometimes they do. I second this entire complaining thread; Google Maps really bad as a map. It only works well as a search results display and navigation frontend.

That's what Google maps are - they only care about places where you spend dollars (good luck finding eg. kid playgrounds).

Here's an app of a company I worked for, that cares about non-shopping use cases: https://windymaps.com/app

I wonder if this done on purpose or ignored for the reasons you just mentioned
