Since they're obviously going to make this the default on MacOS/iOS/etc., it'll get a fair bit of early traction. But if it's going to be as absolutely useless as Siri is for even the most basic of web searches, I could see it getting disabled pretty quickly.

They only have one shot to get this right, remember the Apple Maps disaster? A significant number of people will perpetually refuse to even try it because of how bad the initial versions were.

They don’t need to actually make one, they just need to throw $1B at appearing to making one so Google will throw them $5B more a year to have priority over it.

Ah, good old maps. At least Internet Explorer and Edge were given the opportunity to dig their own graves so I could download Firefox. I never even opened Apple Maps.
