I think where OSM really shines is when you plug in other data sources that have large institutional support keeping them accurate and timely. You’re then providing mapping data off of that data, “drafting” off of it if you will.
For example, if you want to keep hospital state up to date, ingest public payment data from Medicare/Medicaid and distill down by location. When fiat is at stake, there is more at stake wrt data accuracy.
