Yes. I know.
The courts agreed with Google. The Big Boys have to be cut their slack. Whether that was a good decision is (still) debatable. Legal stuff is quite often behind the curve when it comes to the digital world.
In any case, the Google AI answer you found still doesn't provide a reason or answer, does it?
Perhaps OS have clamped down.
I know they (OS) provide a Smart Phone app for digital access to the map data when you go and buy a physical hardcopy. What they *don't* do is think outside the "everyone has a Smart Phone" box. (A common and rather widespread problem IMO). I encountered during this mode of thought during COVID lockdowns. Turn up for testing, Smart Phone required. Otherwise it was a postal delivery of a testing kit.
I bought a rather basic alarm clock recently. Access to documentation on whatever additional features it may have had was locked away behind a graphic which was of no use to someone without a so-called "smart phone".
