All that stuff is a lot of expensive data entry and purchasing of live data feeds.

I have no interest in paying for a search engine, but if someone like Kagi did a legit google maps replacement, I would pay.

Kagi has maps in browser, but not an app. I haven't used it much. Data seems to be from OSM, mapbox, apple and maybe google. Plus Wikipedia of course. Map layers are mapbox. I use OSMand usually so haven't given Kagi maps much of a go despite using Kagi daily. I’m not a heavy maps user so it would probably be good enough for me but “Legit” would depend on your requirements .
