And amazingly, going to Google Maps still defaults to a map of the US... (edit: when you go to maps.google.com)

Well sure. just like ditu.google.cn defaults to a China map. maps.google.co.uk defaults to a UK map, maps.google.fr defaults to France. Google IS an American company, so maybe google.com ought to direct to a US map.
