I think that mey be true of Google Maps data as well (and probably Mapquest).  But I think it's still pretty impressive that the flight simulator is able to draw so much detail such as buildings & things across the world from map data.  With earlier & other flight simulators, people would need to make a lot of custom scenery add-ons for that level of detail.  People can still make custom airports & things for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for added detail & things like activity around airports & such.
