The only issue is that since Maps is a default app, not managed by the App Store, Apple has to push OS updates to update it in any way, which is somewhat of a barrier to adoption.

But the problems reported are all data problems, which presumably can be fixed in the cloud. No app update needed at all.

Yeah, not only that, but you can apparently register your iOS app as a routing app for Maps, and its content will be integrated into the Maps app for users who install it.

And yet that shouldn't be a problem if the issue lies in the server's data.
