I guess part of it also has to be the fact that Scott Forstall was probably a better VP of iOS software than the one who replaced him, looking at the downgrade in quality. The one right at the top of the pyramid does make a difference.

I believe firing Scott Forstall was not a good move for the company's future. Whatever the reason cited was (Apple Maps) at that time, that hasn't improved after all these years. I'm not talking about the U.S. and a few other countries, where there have been big improvements — in many other countries in the world, Apple Maps is useless even in major cities.
