This is the beauty of open data and open source in general. No one is forcing you to use the tools as intended. Want a map of all free bathrooms near a café as a markdown file? Knock yourself out! People will even help you do it.
Meanwhile Google Maps has one increasingly user-hostile frontend per platform. It won’t let me see how long a route with waypoints is, and it just started showing me a news feed every time I use it.
OpenStreetMap is as precious as Wikipedia, and very few people seem to realise it.
