It's also kinda immoral earning money with content from others.

Tried the 6xx versions until last friday - didn't notice any advantage for me... 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'

MET basdically works like a Man in the middle attack (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack ) - it intercepts the map traffic from MS server's and the client (your MSFS 2020 installation) and injects google's satellite tile data. I can't imagine MET is granted any license by Google, Mapbox etc... That's also why MS "forbids" the use of MET...
