Apple Maps is absolutely very late to the game when it comes to road closures. Google Maps somehow always knows which roads are closed, even if for a few minutes.
It doesn't have to be, though. Just like iMessage is hugely successful despite being limited to Apple devices, and even then widely differing in features and reliability, for example, between iOS and macOS.
A wonderful collaborative experience could just be a USP for the platform. FWIW, the now obsoleted iChat was way ahead of the curve compared to the current iteration of FaceTime in group settings, anyway.

I have been remote for 5+ years, and would prefer to stay so, but if there's an amazing opportunity that requires a little bit of onsite time, I would be glad to discuss!

I don't have much, if any, of open source work, as I have been very focused on my apps (which are also my hobbies). In my off-time, I have worked on personal apps that I some day hope to make successful in their own right, but those that I intend to use regularly.
