Really disagree with this. Apps are rarely unique to a platform, and most users aren't on a single platform. I want Google Maps to look the same on the web regardless if I'm on macOS, Linux or Windows, and on my Android phone.

On the web that is fine. As a native app, it should fit in with the platform. On iPhone Google use the Android design language, and it produces apps which simply do not meet expectations.
