Maps hasn’t languished at all.

Sadly Apple Maps’ POIs are still way behind Google Maps. I can usually treat Google Maps POIs as the ground truth now, after asking locals turned out to be wildly less accurate several times. I even had multiple Taxi drivers taking their own way instead of following gmaps and it was a total failure.

Just going to also assert that Apple Maps has significantly improved head over heels over the years here in Canada.

YMMV.

Google Maps has been playing catch up for the past year on features Apple Maps added in 2018.

This is true. Apple Maps has improved significantly. I still wouldn't trust it like I trust Google Maps though.
