A bit of addition to that "AGF hat" part. It turns out that these twisted variations of WGS-84 do see widespread use out of map vendors' maps, and that's not limited to the gov's mandatory GCJ-02. Ningbo Government's database for historial and cultural sites, for example, uses Baidu's BD-09 (twisted GCJ-02) system so its internal APIs could use Baidu's maps smoothly.

These systems are like Newspeak, but are much more pervasive in terms of usage. Thanks to GCJ-02's early implementation, the common prole doesn't even know what WGS-84 looks like in China.
