I use navigation a lot even on familiar regular commutes because of chaotic traffic in my city. Having it displayed on a bigger screen than my phone is definitely better and safer. Apple or Google isn't embedded into the car, the infotainment system just mirrors your phone. Also, since my phone and its apps already have my data, I might as well just have it mirrored instead of also sharing my data with yet another entity (car manufacturer proprietary apps). And yes, I'm not naive and I know there's already a bunch of tracking embedded into the car itself. Having brand-agnostic tech that works on any vehicle is the better option.
