Hmm. That makes some sense -- but it's pretty rare for me to ask for *directions* to somewhere on the subway. Locate it on Maps, sure, and sometimes I'll locate it on Maps on the desktop, then send that pin over to my phone. But actually ask for directions in the app? That's actually more annoying than helpful when I'm doing subway-plus-walk most of the time -- I rarely *need* it, it's annoying having my pocket talking at me, and I don't especially want to have my phone in-hand as I walk.
(And honestly, I've had enough bad experiences with walking directions on Google Maps over the years that it's somewhat trained me not to do that -- combination of GPS problems in the mid-city, and the fact that walking mode in the app was just plain confusing and bad for a fair while. It's better now, but it was annoying enough for long enough that I developed some distaste for it.)
