The chicken and egg problem is that OSM will be as good as the data it gets, and the data it gets will increase as people use it as a serious solution and contribute where they find it inadequate.

Sure, but companies have the money to contribute a subscription but not time, because the later is incredibly more expensive for them.

This makes OSM data a non-starter in most serious business use cases.
