Going to Google Maps in response to Apple adding ads to Maps doesn't make a lot of sense. Google has been putting ads in Google Maps for many years. Is the view that they're both the same now, in terms of having ads, so they might as well use the one with the better POI data?

Yup. If the main differentiator is gone, you move to the next marginal thing that matters, which in this case is working as a map.
Yes it is for me. Google Maps has much better and more up to date information.
A number of times I’ve been set to the wrong place by Apple Maps.
If you’re going to be served ads either way you might as well pick the more reliable tool.
For maps Apple has a lower quality product, that lets me down when I really need it, and has no privacy advantage.
