"In my experience, 90% of novices are lost by not downloading an app from the app-store." 

I think most people edit OSM at this point probably also have OsmAnd installed on their cell phones. You can edited POI's pretty easily through that by holding down on the POI, clicking actions, and pushing the "modify POI" button. 

As far as the financing question goes, its not really about that. There's been a lot of discussion and issues about making the main site more mobile friendly and that doesn't seem to be a direction the maintainers are interested in going in. Although, iD Editor has made some progress on it. Money isn't the barrier though. TomHughes can probably speak more to that if need be. Personally, I use to be really into the idea, but I've been less so lately. Apps are adequate and its fundamentally wrong in my opinion to just do things to satisfy "novices" in my opinion. They are extremely small segment of OSM users and 99% of us are perfectly fine with using either apps or desktops in absense of mobile support. That's just what I think though.
