To the best of my knowledge, Strava has always used OSM data via Mapbox, and as such, Strava has no relationship with OSM. Mapbox is the one using OSM data, and to the best of my knowledge, Mapbox always attributes properly. In the Strava app, old maps or new maps... the attribution is there.
So what problem, _exactly_, are you reporting Rihards? Jeffrey

This might bring OSM data on mobile devices - although perhaps not for
Japan where Mapbox decided to abandon OSM?
