Can you give me three recent instances where you were trying to accomplish something with Google Maps, and you weren't able to because it's gone to shit?
Without concrete examples your comment is just vibes.
You don't seem to be arguing that Google is a bad company actually. You're arguing that it was once a good/altruistic company, and now it's more ordinary. This strikes me as an entitled attitude. A company behaves in a good/altruistic way, people get used to it, they don't show appreciation, but they do start cursing if the altruism diminishes even a little. "No good deed goes unpunished"
