I think there are a few reasons this quote is interesting:

It shows how important some people feel about how their geography is represented in Google Earth.

It shows the expectation that its Google's obligation/responsibility/? to offer better data of their area.

I suggests to me at least that the quotee probably hasn't researched how Google gets its imagery, when it gets updates or that it's possible for the city/region to share its data with Google.

On the other hand, it could just be a trick to get blogs like this to pick it up and be sure Google sees it.
