The only contender is Osm with is already better than Google in some country and evolving fast.
Some good example is the maps.me application on Android and iOS which is an open source offline map application with everything needed. And you can even contribute to osm from the app.
So why do they buy something which is worse than a free one?

But everything for movie and TV show is available for free easily but still everything is working great for Netflix.
