If it did not have that snark though, one could make the point that the data could still be 'deanonimitized'.
This is a guess, but I suspect the point had to do with data privacy. Maybe someone wrote legislation that prohibits public websites from hosting ads, or third party browser-tracking software. And google maps fits that.
