Any reason why Google Maps wouldn’t* use the same in-app tracking?

Edit: meant why Google wouldn’t do this. I guess what I really mean, is what are the chances they don’t do this?

Yeah, tracking your behavior. If you searched for a bar, did you look at other bars? Parking? What other things did you look at? All of this could potentially be used for segmentation.

Yes, Google Maps probably tracks your usage of Google Maps. But when you click through to a location's website, it doesn't open that in a local webview and track how you use their website.

Whether Chrome tracks how you use it...
