Maps is not a part of the platform, it is Google's own code. This is why it is considered to be an optional part of the platform -- since the source is not open, we can not guarantee it will be on every phone.
In the future we should make a stronger distinction between the platform code and proprietary things like the maps API; these have been separated in the docs since the start, but that is probably not enough. (And the open sourcing of the code is going to force this too, since the standard docs are built from the source, and there is no source for the maps APIs.)
