I was somehow obsessed with this issue a few years ago for no good reason (I don't live in SK or have any tie to it), and wrote dozens of "feedbacks" to Google, despite knowing nothing would change. I guess I was just unreasonably irritated by this "imperfection".

Anyway, it was fixed/changed last year! https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleMaps/comments/rb6gua/google_m...

I'm pretty sure the "fix" just involved them building a cloud center in the country and serving all the SK map data from there to get around the regulation. Unless something changed with the law itself that I'm unaware of.
I don’t think it was “just” that as I think they also improved/updated the map data which was likely a lot of work.
