Right: they expire, which means they'll no longer be used, but
doesn't necessarily imply they're removed from your device.

But "USELESS because they cover such a small area" is a matter
of perception and need. Just one offline map covers virtually
all of my country.

Sure enough. But zillions of people like or prefer "for free"
stuff, and OSMAND+ offers only a very limited number of maps
for free on a 'download once' basis.
