Difficult of doing something is not directly related to people's
willingness / desire to do it.
I can guarantee you that there are Google employees who do want to have
GeoIP (and other) information as correct as possible. Said employees
are grateful for such corrections. Said employees try to process such
corrections as expediently and efficiently as possible.
I can make this guarantee because I know / have witnessed multiple
Google employees that have submitted and followed up on multiple GeoIP
corrections.
I'm certain that there are still errors in Google's GeoIP data. But I'm
equally certain that multiple Google employees /do/ /wanna/ /improve/
/it/ (the GeoIP data).

How do you know that the OP's problem hasn't been resolved?
How do you know that the OP hasn't leveraged either of the suggestions
that I provided?
Presuming the OP did leverage the suggestions that I provided, how can
you say "no resolution" when it's been ~2 hours for a process that I
indicated takes order of weeks?

Based on your logic, the entire email industry must actually want spam
because all efforts to the contrary have failed to stop it.
No, the email industry does not /want/ spam.
Yes Google has problems.
No, Google's problems do not accurately reflect the desires of the
employees.
