I had a similar experience at Google, they were so convinced they were the only good engineering company in the world and had to protect themselves from all the wrong-thinkers outside and yet the only progress they made was via acquisitions.

You'd say that Google Maps hasn't improved much in the last 20 years?

It's been up and down for about 8-12 years. Problems get fixed and new ones get added without a particular direction, at least that's what it feels like as a regular user. Some come back years after they were first fixed.

It’s doing a great job making sure I know where Burger King is when zooming into a city

Maps thinks it's fine to do a u-turn on the Sydney harbour bridge.

Is this like a platform 9 3/4 thing?

Apple Maps has been better than Google Maps for at least 10 years and nowadays the way that Google Maps improves is often just by copying Apple Maps

Id say it improved until about 2016, since then the additions have generally made the software worse.

More overlays and popups More needlessly verbose navigation instructions Less predictable routes.

Thats just the start
