If it’s just a Starbucks link every time I search for “coffee shop”, that’s fine. The one I hate is when Google Maps inserts ads into the directions it gives me.
“Continue straight for 0.5 miles”
“Continue straight, past the Pizza Hut, for 1 mile”
It would have been a lot easier to just say “continue straight for 1.5 miles”. It also makes me wonder if that really is the most optimal route or if it intentionally directed me past the Pizza Hut so it could advertise to me.

I believe they patented this as well, and it was pushed as a feature, "directions the human way."
