I've found plenty of situations where OSM has better data than Google Maps.

Absolutely, eg. the woods near my house have trails mapped out in OSM that don't exist on Google Maps.
I also find Google's colour scheme rather obnoxious when I want to use the map to actually orient myself (instead of it being merely a convenient geographical background for displaying POIs and route planning) – forests aren't displayed at all once you start zooming in and the distinction between built-up areas and open space (which isn't great to start with) gets more and more indistinct as well.
