Its pretty telling that after he dismisses the need for maps because, apparently, normal users never drive to unfamiliar places, he dismisses the need for flight updates in part because normal users drive to vacations (and when they do fly, apparently, their planes are never delayed.)

No, i's pretty telling that you're so keen to shout 'gotcha!' that you miss the point ;)

If you use maps once a year to drive on holiday, you're not using it every week, are you? How many people use these services ALL THE TIME?

Most people don't have a flight every week, so flight updates are not a common problem. And most people don't go on holiday every week either, do they?
