CarPlay and Android Auto give you the choice of your own app and full integration with the rest of your listening life.
And to be fair I prefer waze, not just because it makes driving simpler, but the community feeling you get by marking stopped cars or other obstructions on the road for others to pay attention to.
Unless automakers organize and come together to build a common os/ui layer, I don’t see apps like that ever being present in official infotainment systems.
And audio book apps change all the time too - local variants with local libraries, language learning apps etc. There is quite the variety of stuff you could do in a car.
And even if you want to use only audio and maps, then there are still a selection of audio streaming providers and map providers around.
Plus CarPlay it's pretty unstable and requires cable on some cars.
camping hiking etc bring me places without reception.
driving between towns here (BC, canada) often mean long stretches of road without reception.
