I generally agree with that sentiment and would not have added Google Maps links to OSM myself, ever. But for this MapRoulette task, with the announced sunsetting of the goo.gl URL shortener, I felt it more adequate to, for now, only replace the URLs with their redirect targets. I did try to replace them with actual place websites or, at worst, Facebook, but in some cases couldn’t even find those for the places I didn’t do that with.
