When creating an application, when should I use the map satellite view instead of the plain one?

Question

From UX Perspective, If I create a map-based mobile application why should I not use the map satellite view instead of the vector one?
Is it because it is crowded with data and the user will not be able to distinguish the roads as easily, or is there another reason that it has to do with the performance?

At 1st this might seem logical. but imagine a dense area with many buildings and overhead structures, or an area with a lot of trees and foliage. Also consider the underground parts of certain roads and highways. There's too many factors. This would make it hard to actually see the road. Instead in the vector based map is much easier to isolate the road from all the other details
