Which is the only reasonable way. A map has to be useful, it’s not their fault a government has changed things.

Their government didnt change things. They chucked a hissy fit and made unfounded demands, Google decided to appease the crybabies rather than having an ounce of integrity.

On a practical level, if a government decides to refer to it by whatever name in advisory notices and alerts, it’s useful to have the map reconcile with that name

No reasonable people are using their bullshit names for the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Ontario and no one should be encouraging it.
