Microsoft's Bing maps uses a huge amount of aerial orthophotos as well, not just satellite. Also aerial lidar for DEMs vs satellite radar data (the old srtm 1/3 for us48 states, etc).

I was just going by the trailer, which I'd imagine the Wikipedia page is citing, that references the azure AI and satellite data towards the beginning of the video.
