> Maps is also irreplaceable right now, but over time competitors will get better. The last company to pour significant resources into maps was Apple and they have essentially given up. If the most valuable company ever created cannot defeat Maps, nothing will. Including OSM. There was a story on here a few months ago called Google Maps’ Moat. Give it a read. Maps is not going anywhere. |

^ I mean, I do agree it's a moat, it just had the unusual property that the path to bring it down is pretty clear.
