There is no real competition going on with the big players anynore - Google Maps for example constantly jumps around to show ads, randomly zooms in and out when searching, has extremely low contrast, doesn't show all POIs it knows of when searching, and limits what one can search by (e.g. there's no selection of cuisine anymore for restaurants), and so on.

I fully believe that OSM apps already beat it for specific use cases (e.g. Organic Maps for tourism, OSMAnd for cycling & hiking, etc.), and I don't think that being small & open source is a real limit even for an all-purpose maps app, as long as the big players like easy money more than providing features & value to the user, and don't feal threatened by any of the alternatives.

TL;DR: it's good for competition and Google Maps isn't really that good, as long as it's enough to still make loads of money.

Tbf you can filter by cuisine - just not on iOS, for some reason. They only have 10K geo engineers so I guess we should cut them slack - that’s what, only $3,000,000,000 a year in salaries alone?
