Do you actually believe that Google has not been providing data to the government since the beginning?

For the fastest routing, try GraphHopper maps F-droid unbeatable in that region. For searching gmaps is really difficult to beat. Organic maps is OK.

Um no.
A state can decide what it names itself or names a part of itself (e.g. Black Lives Matter Plaza). The story of Ukraine illustrates this.
But geographers and cartographers don't decide what to name a place or get orders from states by fiat (unless the mapper is a state agent working for a department) They name things based on what they're called.
The gulf is known to most of the world and the International Hydrographic Organization as Golfo de México or in English, Gulf of Mexico, and calling it the Gulf of America (say by Google Maps) is political allegiance signaling, that they are MAGA or MAGA collaborators.
If you want to be spicy you can call it Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl or the House of Chalchiuhtlicue based on the South American deity of the sea. It has a nice ominous Siege of R'lyeh feel that reflects the tempestuous weather of the ocean expanse.

Should we also refer to Texas as Mexico since that's what it was called at one time?

There's some routing in place! It's not perfect everywhere I'll admit, but it's an option. An option owed by the public, improving every day, and more detailed if you want to help

And how does adding an extension to Google Chrome that visually changes one word on Google Maps suppose to help with that?
