Product owner response:
Mapbox is only being used for the basemaps - this has been a request from the stakeholders to get different views. Otherwise, the platform could function independently of mapbox. In fact, there is even an offline version (see offroad) where Mapbox doesn't play any role.
This solution might have more potential as an open data collection, adding this to the DPG reviewer check-in
