It's not a real requirement at all. I have "Home" and "Work" remembered from before it was a "requirement". They pop up as quick nav actions when holding the Google Maps homescreen icon on my phone, or when opening a GMaps Driving icon.
But I'm not allowed to set the "Home" and "Work" locations in the actual app, so they don't work via text or voice search.
