Maybe. My point though is that the (un)intuitiveness of this definition will be a constant source of error because as shops close and new shops open, the data is changing and thus the potential for error remains. (With incomplete software support.)
Turns out, it is even a problem in countries where the ground floor is level 0. I was just researching what floor numbering scheme Thailand follows by looking at mall maps in Bangkok and found that it is common for malls to have a storey named "M" between "G" and "1" ( https://www.emporium.co.th/directory/ ), making it as mistake-prone as mapping a mall in the US.
