I'm not sure what you're reporting, but the maps all have "© Mapbox © OpenStreetMap" in the lower-left
corner.  (Perhaps they were cut off in some of the screenshots in news coverage, but the actual maps in
the Strava app and on their web site all have this attribution.)  I suppose that they could use a slightly 
stronger background shadow, to create more contrast when the map behind the attribution is light.

(On iOS, in activity-specific or segment-specific views, they use Apple Maps, with attribution. I don't know
what they do on Android.)

Sadly, they're not using the newly-designed maps yet on the web site for the big interactive activity-specific
maps. Whatever old maps they've been using (also via Mapbox) have not gotten OSM updates in almost
two years. Some areas have extremely stale data. )-:
