It hasn’t stopped being great. In fact it’s better than it ever was.
We need better safe guards and checks so that some person can’t just delete France.
The map is updated millions of times per day. There are checks in place, but minor edits don’t get much review especially if it’s something simple like “this street has a bus stop”. Deleting France, yeah someone would notice that change and block it. Most software doesn’t use the realtime map state - they use a slightly older version of the map in part to avoid using a version of the map that has been compromised.
You really only see the current map state if you are editing the map.
