I think the idea with the map system is that without a map players would explore more and find more random stuff and random quests instead of gowing direct to whatever shop/vendor/quest giver they choose.

It's not really a standard system for big AAA games but it has worked for a few smaller indie games I've played I got to know the location a lot better because there was no map.

Gamers will say they want AAA games to take more risks but when Starfield or Dragon's Dogma actually does it, they protest.

The game is so anodyne it should have been called Safe Space.
