Not always, I guess.

If you count raw number of features edited, it's way easier to crank up the number by drawing some buildings, forests, lakes, landuse from satellite/aerial imagery.

Whereas things like points of interest (shops, services, tourist-related stuff) won't get you a high number, but arguably are more important.

Corporate editors in under-mapped countries certainly can add much more data than average mappers do.
