There's no particular reason for every app to search the web, though. There's plenty of reason for a wide variety of apps to need maps.
Maps are a broad value tool. Searching the web isn't. A web search engine is just a search engine. It's not a meaningful value add to any arbitrary developer who wants to build apps for iPhone.
