Guys, I've figured out how to get rid of this "feature".

Stop using Google.

Google peaked with maps anyway.

IDK, OSM is much more detailed and up to date.

Not really

Maybe in super busy urban areas

But I live in a large city and regularly have to update information that is 5+ years out of date

Small villages? Unless there's someone living there who has it as a hobby, there's no chance it will be even close to up to date

That depends on where you live.
