Not the target I guess, but this one of the challenges of OpenStreetMap. "Armchair mappers"[1] are aplenty, but sometimes you just need to see the place on the ground, which is OSM's gold standard [2]. An example is resolving Notes (ie. error reports) [3] which may take either hours or days to get resolved. Technically there's Mapillary and Kartaview, but the coverage is spotty and not always up-to-date.
