IMHO Your forgot an important feature mappers want :
"Have I done a mistake or not ?"

Even if we keep on telling them : "don't map for the renderer" (in the new 
sense it has become) they still want to know if what they've done is "correct" 
("correct" in a non so obvious sense where answers "is it in the wiki" "It's 
always correct because you can tag how you want" are not what they expect)

+the data layers isn't available as a JOSM slippy map selector (and the plugin 
"download as you pan and zoom" isn't as functional because it can hardly work 
on low zooms)
