While whatever EU regulation root cause of this is likely annoying and overbearing, I personally hate the embeddings of Google Maps into Google Search results. This is true for both maps and photos of restaurants which expand in a tiny popup rather than the full screen view you get on maps. Because as is always the case with these kinds of product embeddings, the UX is always subtly different, and a bunch of features…

The problem is that "maps" in the top bar is also missing. The only way now to search for a map is going to maps.google.com and search there. I find it actually very annoying.
