What is the Point of 3D Flyover in Apple Maps?

You are aware that Flyover won't magically update without them doing another flyover are You not? Just like StreetView static information get's outdated rather quickly in the real world. So will it be cheaper to send a plane or a car?

They use a plane initially to grab a wide area of data, but they could easiest update individual buildings or add a new tower with a bit of maths and some helicopter shots.

Same question then - use helicopter instead of airplane.
