Why would you want to go to goofle translate or google maps when you search for translate or google? Wouldn’t you want to go to the best service you could get?

His point is those are the best.
Maybe that isn't his point. A lot of people don't use UI optimally.
They "Go to google, type what they want, google gives it to them."
Sure, you could click on the 9 dots on the top right and select maps for google maps.
But is that always there on every device, on every web browser, whether signed in with google account or not?
Yes, but the counter argument is that they are only the best because no competitor can get adequate attention to make the investment worthwhile.
Apple has the only viable alternatives to those two, and the only way they are able to distribute them is because they control the home screen of iOS.
