Google Maps breaks things that didn’t need fixed, leaves broken stuff that needed fixing

Why do the highway lines on Google Maps now look more like Yahoo?

Why are pre-2003 and even pre-1980 highway designations showing up everywhere?

Why are there IA 57 markers running along the Butler-Grundy county line? Why are various other now-decommissioned highways going where they never did?

Why, if certain lesser roads are supposed to be a different width, do some of them change abruptly regardless of pavement?

Why/What is this giant gray blob southwest of Oelwein?

Why are there still no county road names in the entire state of Iowa?

And if all of this is supposed to be for Android, why are cleanliness and accuracy being sacrificed for features? (And why can’t the writer of the linked article use to/too/two correctly? Or see the error in the phrase “as a free downloads”?)
