Google Maps is a mess of business icons and junk which I notice is now mandated on Street View - icons can't be hidden anymore without resorting to custom scripts like ad blockers.

Google Search tries too hard to present "facts". Take this top result snippet which messes up the difference between speedometer and odometer:

https://www.google.com/search?q=speedometer+or+odometer

Google is using and presenting data from the top website in an attempt to "know" the functional difference between speedometer and odometer. Google pretends to be smart. I'm not surprised people are finding it easy to manipulate "knowledge" panels.
