Suggestion: Add option in Wayfarer Settings - Street View Default Toggle on Location Accuracy Map

Simple suggestion/request, like in my title.
On the Wayfarer review page, the Location Accuracy map loads with Google Street View on by default. More often than not, Street View is less helpful to me than the standard satellite map.
Adding a toggle (Load Street View by Default: yes/no) in the settings page is a simple change that would improve my review experience.
Keep in mind, Google Street View is full of user generated content - so when the Location Accuracy map loads Google Street View, it often displays the inside of retail stores, unrelated panoramas, etc. In other cases, the most recent Google Street View imagery is a decade or older. In terms of reviewing POI candidates, panorama imagery from 2008 is not helpful - this often occurs when a submission is in a newly developed area, with an old Google Street View showing a pre-development landscape.
Sometimes Street View is not just "less helpful" but totally useless. I included examples below of 100% useless and annoying Street Views from Wayfarer.

When these cases happen I usually use the option to open with google maps and I see it myself with my google maps app
I also do this. I would rather not have to go through the extra steps.
