That's just a lie. The view in my hometown is from 2021 (a building I razed in 2022 is still there, and a vehicle I parked in one of my parking lots in late 2021 and which hasn't budged since then is not there yet; and it's summer in the view). And it says, of course, "2023".
I guess they can say that their 2021 image is "copyrighted 2023", but that's really borderline dishonest. As an user, I greatly prefer to know the truth about the age of the image, than to "learn" which year we're in right now. (Google always dates its images to the current year, whatever year they're from.)
