You keep making the same logic fallacy about making OSM more free, you
also keep assuming the user base will keep growing, but you are also
at the same time not asking the community what they want you are
assuming you know what's best.

It's this kind of flagrant arrogance that can lead to a projects
demise, what's the point in considering things 10 years from now if
there is no contributors in 10 years from now because you stifled
their options from sourcing data too much?
