What are the odds, this random example points to only a couple km away from my home.

I had never seen OSM for the area, the detail around Maxis is astounding. And the busway is quite relevant to understand traffic around the area.

"What are the odds, this random example points to only a couple km away from my home."

Probably a rhetorical question, but the odds for you individually were probably low, but the odds that the random example (where random here still means close to major cities) was close to some HN reader were probably quite high ..
