It would be interesting to hear how much a subscription to docs, gmail, maps, etc. would have to be to keep them operating at current levels.

Google could have had solid competition if Garmin and TomTom made their offline map subscriptions available on phones instead of pushing their dedicated devices so hard. TomTom just started publishing their own apps during Covid, and Garmin is still nowhere to be found. There's also other apps like Magic Earth that use other data, but they're also super recent.
I feel like the whole tech industry, especially the American part, really dropped the ball on this.
