Honest question, is Google the one making it impossible to set Google Maps as the default maps option on Apple? Or making it impossible to one-click delete backed up photos?

I fully believe Google holds back differentiating features and DSPA is certainly mismanaged, but I'd hope these basic functionalities are not the ones since there's always the tradeoff between serving 50%+ of your mobile users and trying to differentiate Android/Pixel...

Apple does shit like make it impossible for Google Fi to set up easily on iPhone, so I just assumed most of the UX idiocy came from Apple's anticompetitive review process.
