Isn't the Report a Problem button in Apple Maps already a form of crowdsourcing?
No. It pretends to be crowdsourcing. In reality, it seems that all information entered there will just disappear.
Whereas, I live in the UK, have submitted dozens of errors/corrections over the past year or two.. received no update notifications, and all the errors are still present.

As you see, it _pretends_ to be crowdsourcing.
don't know why people keep complaining about maps. I been using it for a while with no issue. I live in the LA area and have used them in other areas with no issue. But then again I am only one person so who knows lol.
I looked at the map of my tiny village. It's tiny.
Maps has three points of interest: A hotel, a bar, and an off license. The church is missing, the pub is missing, and the village hall is missing. All three present on Google maps.
The hotel is in the right location. The bar is in the garden of a neighbour 100 meters away from me. That bar is actually part of the hotel and should be at the exact location of the hotel. So if you use Maps to find a bar in my village, not a chance. The off license is in the garden of another neighbour 60 meters away from me. In reality, the off license is 500 meters down the road. The place is at the crossing of two streets, and Maps recorded the wrong street. So if you are looking for an off license in my village, not a chance.
That's out of six POIs one correct, two absolutely misleading, and three missing.
