This is not always good for the end user. Now I have to go to google maps manually because it’s most of the time no longer integrated with google search

what exactly prevents them from giving me a dropdown with links to apple maps, kagi maps, bing maps and google maps and my choice gets saved to my google account as the default? Instead all they show me is a useless javascript map which is still google maps but I cant do anything useful on it and it's super frustrating trying to get to a map for a place search

To play devils advocate - it costs money to integrate with all the competing map providers and to display them properly on the site. You could think of a plug in approach where map providers integrate themselves, still someone needs to maintain that plug in infra. Nothing is free.

And it’s the same story for any kind of service that’s subject to DMA.

They don't want to link to their competition, so they'd rather not link to their own service and if users complain they tell them to complain to the EU.

That's Google's fault. They could offer an api for other map providers to be displayed.
