Google maps doesn't do this and that is what the op was stating.

The original comment referred to Google/Waze doing this, which is why I chimed in.

Google owns Waze, so it is "Google/Waze".

Apple Maps also rarely tells you to make unprotected left turns against traffic, whereas Waze will happily give you nearly impossible but theoretically faster directions.
