You're right. I noticed this on Bing Maps before, but hadn't noticed Google following suit.
It makes these sites so much less useful. Their unique location catalog is the reason I usually prefer Google, then Bing, over Here Maps or whatever OSM thing. But it's harder and harder to query it to receive anything useful.
