>Google Maps is an acquisition from 20 years ago. (As is Android)

This is comical. When Google acquired Android, it was nothing more than a 3000 line JavaScript demo. The Android OS was created entirely at Google.

It's the same for Google Maps. It was just a C++ demo when acquired, nothing at all like what we see today.
