You said specifically:

> I've definitely had several close calls in traffic, with faceId requiring me to type the password, switch back to the maps app etc, since google maps can't stay open while the phone is locked like apple maps.

You’ve had several close calls due to using your phone when you shouldn’t, putting others at risk. That sounds exactly like the definition of unsafe driving (and the strongest plausible interpretation of what you said).

> I think it's a pretty serious dark pattern when you consciously make an app unsafe for your user.

Nobody at Apple is making an app unsafe, but you are choosing to make the roads unsafe by using an app and interacting with your phone while driving.

It’s not against HN guidelines to call out incredibly unsafe behavior, even if it is the context for complaining about API differences.
