Reply to comment by Icewear_Daddy in Google to merge mapping service Waze with maps products teams | CNN Business by sovamind
Google is an advertising company, and Maps is an advertising platform. The routing features are loss-leaders to get people to find Carl's Jr Burgers, who pays Google for the little brand icons.
A trucker, while critical to commerce, isn't using their map software to find and buy stuff at the retailers. They're just using it for routing. There's no advertising advantage to adding bridge height data.
