Even if this isn't true, as some here suggest, it still points to an idea that might or might not come to Google Maps in the future. What would prevent them from suggesting multiple routes, where the first route is an advertised one, and we'd have to explicitly scroll a few pixels down to get to the non-advertised one. It's the same with the Google search results.
So, we should really think of an alternative before it's too late.
IMO this is the main take.
