The OSM tiles are intended for mappers building the database and so err on the side of too much detail.

As you say, for display you can make your own tiles, but you can also get them (free for many uses) from a range of 3rd parties:

If you just want a drop in replacement for Google, rather than something unique then this is probably your best bet:
