Ah, I see, I thought you were referencing a screenshot from the app, but that
seems to be an image made explicitly for posting on Twitter. One imagines that
Strava hasn't built a map renderer just to make Twitter images, so probably the
images are sourced from somewhere (Mapbox, Google, etc.). If the underlying
data originates from OSM, someone indeed should be putting the attribution.

I don't know that it's a "mindset". The person using OSM data has the responsibility to attribute, no?
If Mapbox is not putting attributions, it would be a surprise. Can you show a specific example where
Mapbox is providing OSM-derived maps without attribution? (If it's not apparent from the example
that it's Mapbox providing OSM-derived maps, please be sure to cite your evidence that that's what
we're seeing).
