In case no one took the opportunity to actually read the link I sent, the past paragraph said Jobs would have made this move too. Apple wants turn-by-turn navigation and Google won't license it via the API. That is a differentiator for Android vs iOS since Google owns Android. Given that Apple could not get Google to license turn-by-turn navigation, Apple had to go their own way eventually in order to get that feature and compete with Android.

One not-so-secret reason Apple built its own Maps for iOS 6
