This means:

Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
This might be Google's first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

But you can install any map app you like? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to not use an iPhone, but that's not one of them.

Can install, but can’t default them.

Also a slightly degraded experience compared to the OEM app.
