Apple Maps in particular frustrates me. It's integrated extremely deeply into the OS in ways that Google Maps can't take advantage of. Navigation on lock screen and built-in guidance on Apple Watch (versus having to use notifications).

As a result, users are "forced" to use Apple Maps if they want these very useful integrations. While I think Apple Maps is much better designed than Google Maps, this advantage is anti-competitive as hell.

It's a smaller version of the IE problem that got Microsoft in hot water, and yet it persists unabated.
