Whenever I’m using my maps app to find somewhere local to get food from, it is all ready to provide me with Doordash or Yelp. If there’s a “website” attached at all, it’s usually a frickin’ Facebook page.
But I can usually plug the name + town into DuckDuckGo, and wouldn’t ya know it, they do have their own website! With lower prices!
I’ve submitted corrections to the map app before, listing the correct websites. I’ve done it numerous times for my favorite places, over the course of years. Nothing ever changes. I’m 99% certain it’s all part of some grift - Doordash et. al. probably have some kind of deal to make their pages the main/only options. I have no evidence of it, but nothing else makes sense.
