Yes, the corridors in the top right of the first map don't line up with the grid... but they're still blatantly five feet wide and about 30/15 feet long respectively.If I was of a mind to blow that map up to floorplan size and use it as a battlemat, I agree it would be irritating. I'm not sure how many DM's do that though - I certainly don't. Map grids for me are more about proportionate scale than anything, since when it comes to a combat, I'll sketch the relevant area on my gridded whiteboard and my own sense of artistic inadequacy will ensure that I can make the walls line up with the grid just fine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I find the map that you don't like to be the style I prefer: here's a piece of architecture, oh and by the way here's what happens if you overlay a grid on it. This as opposed to: here's a 5 foot grid, let's see what walls we can slap down, which is the general feeling I get from most maps that overlay on the grid perfectly. But then, I like my maps to be exquisitely drawn and be of value in and of themselves, as well as essential tools for play. YMMV.</blockquote>
