What else do you really need when driving? Maybe I just can't relate because I have android.
CarPlay is the only modern car tech I care about.

Fumbling with your phone while driving is dumb. All build into car nav is terrible. Leaving your phone in your pocket and being able to use, in your case, google maps on the car's built in screen is great. As is being able to select what you're listening to over bluetooth on a simplified for car use interface.

Plus it stays up to date as the car gets older, as the car is just the display-- the interface is determined by the phone.

And "free" data (as in, it uses your phone's data instead of requiring a data plan.
oh I guess for you it matters.
For me my car's built-in in nav is more than enough to get from point A to B, I can control my pandora music thru my car's regular bluetooth, I can answer my phone calls thru my regular bluetooth, I don't mess with my messages when I'm driving and I dont need data for my car due to reasons stated above.
I drive about 200 miles a day and that works for me. Probably just me.
