Cool your jets and read this again. They have changed the default Xbox/PS4 controller bindings to fit more essential controls, like the FSS. Given the finite button real-estate it's better not to have 2 whole chords taken up by maps. The ability to bind a shortcut to the galaxy map has not been removed from the game...
If you're using the default context controls you should rebind them anyway as they are frankly awful and don't give full 6DOF controls or prioritize survival essentials.
I guess you're probably right but that is not what Will said.
