Yes, then what about the source code for google maps, gmail and google play? Are they open source? Do you get them doing your git checkout?

My point is that the value of Google Maps is not in the interface, it's in the data. Apple Maps has the interface down ― that's the easy part.

Google has never claimed that apps specific to its services were part of Android to begin with, so your point is moot.
