Maps, Mail, Drive, Scholar, and Search are all the best or near the best available. That doesn’t mean I like every one of them or I wouldn’t prefer others, but as far as I can tell the competition doesn’t exist that works better.

GCP and Pixel phones are a toss-up between them and competitors.

It isn’t market dominance, nobody has made anything better.

Search is famously kind of bad the last few years, but even Maps isn’t that great.

(Data errors I’ve seen this week: the aerial imagery over Brisbane Australia is from ~2010 but labeled 2021, the coastline near Barentsburg in Svalbard is wrong and doesn’t match any other map.)

I’m not saying any of it is great, just that there aren’t better replacements that make me want to switch.
