I have one comment and one question.
Q: Are OSM/Nominatim good for most countries now? When I tried it was very good to good enough for developed countries like US or UK but for others clearly not.
C: I really dont get Google mindset. They sell geoservices. OK. How much money that would bring 1mil, 10mil or 100mil in over 20bil company. What is the logic? Creating barriers? I dont know.
