I get that they could have kept paying Google to serve us with what we already had, but that would mean being inferior forever. They chose being inferior for 1/2 years and control their future. Why can't you acknowledge that? Have you ever done business? Better yet, have you ever done business with your biggest competitor? Do you like it when he keeps sticking it up your butt? One more year of butt sticking is fucking hard to remove and gives you a nasty hole.If Google had released Turn-by-Turn navigation, vector tiles and lots of other improvements for iOS like they have on Android and Apple cut the cord to that, implementing their inferior solution, then I'd be outraged.
Google never released those things intentionally crippling iOS. I would have done the same. Apple can't be in a position to depend on others anymore. They have to control as much of the experience as possible or stuff like this will keep happening. Even if that means sacrificing some quality temporarily.
