Doesn't good old https://maps.google.com or https://osm.org work on phones without apps?

I don't know, would it? It requires fairly modern browser features that I don't remember the old school phones' browsers having.

The mobile web interface of Google Maps is hideous and unusable. I had to use it from time to time, when OSM didn't have the data I needed, and I regretted every second of it.
