Seems like the right choice to me. Introducing a "reality grounded" image generation feature without very good moderation seems like an obvious miss, and moderation is a tall ask in this context.

Is there actually a genuine use-case for inserting fake things onto maps? I can only see frivolous and disinformation use-cases, but maybe I’m short-sighted.

There is a use case for visualizing property development, maybe.
