I'm guessing GP is European and you're American. There are significant issues with OSM data in the rural US.

Not just OSM. Google Maps is missing plenty of roads, and even entire towns in rural America.

Every National Park I've been to in the last three years has had a sign, a flyer, a notice, or a line in the brochure pleading with people not to rely on Google Maps and to use paper maps.

Google Maps in next to unusable in rural areas of the third world (as far as I have seen) with unpaved roads. I guess there is no business case for Google in spending money to map those areas
