> I can't share what I'm looking at in macOS' Maps.app like I can on the Google Maps website, pure downgrade.

But you can? For example, https://maps.apple.com/?ll=36.103117,-103.901438&spn=0.00098...

> Or look at macOS' News.app. Another downgrade from reading news in a browser tab. It has no tabs. There's no right-click. It implemented its own back button. It only supports the few news sources that come preinstalled on it. I can't add my own. Why would I prefer this?

You shouldn't; you should be annoyed that Apple shipped this and demand that they give you better.

Your maps.apple.com example is perfect: the recipient needs to have an Apple device and Maps.app to see the link. It's like a peek into how things might've been in a dismal alternate reality.

Now try this: https://goo.gl/maps/dvhDpd93gJs

Did you try clicking on the link I posted? On my Linux machine, it redirects to Google Maps.
