I had to laugh at your first sentence, that incendiary reply is almost comical.
Streisand effect
The European Space Agency has already demonstrated on-the-edge processing with Phi-Sat-1. They use AI to detect clouds and only downlink images below a certain cloud cover threshold.

Half of these I have with my unrooted custom ROM. Beside, for most you only need root once and can remove it afterwards.
Sentinel-2 provides worldwide coverage in 10m resolution and is open data. It would be challenging to reach worldwide 1m coverage, even for the big players.

You may also want to have a look at OpenTopography, following a similar principle but for elevation data.

It's not even that much of a senseless decision considering that half of the population has a double digit IQ (100 is the median by definition, half is below half is above)

Happened to me as well, now I click the search button to go back.
Indeed, the ArcGIS Maps SDK is about GIS content first and foremost, not CAD content that almost always lacks geolocation. It's a bit disappointing from HN that the top comment, while containing valid information, is only remotely applicable to the tool at hand.
It is included in my org's license and we haven't been paying anything extra. I guess it will be a completely free add-on to most ArcGIS Pro licensing. Unity/Unreal are already free to use too below a certain profit threshold. Overall I'm quite optimistic about it.
