 You would think with Google's lead Apple's first job to be done  would be getting its map to global coverage and parity as soon as possible and pretty transions last, but then if they can make a lesser product seem superior I guess job well done ?  

Reducing Apple’s Look Around to just having ‘pretty transitions’ shows a lack of awareness about it.

But even if it was nothing more than ‘pretty transitions’, anyone paying attention to technology for the last 20 years should have learned that things such as attractive visuals not only lead the industry, but other companies copy Apple visuals—or were you not around when OS X received criticism for its visuals only to have Windows eventually copy the idea and it completely changing the industry?

Humans aren’t machines. We enjoy ‘beauty’, even if that beauty is just a pretty transition in a maps app.
