Nominatim can get it right so that's a problem with OSMAnd. I suggest 
that you report that problem to them.

Phone numbers should be tagged in E.123 or DIN5008 format as per the 
wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:phone). The same argument 
doesn't apply to street addresses.

Localities regularly get redefined (there are usually a few in each 
quarterly release of G-NAF) and mappers add their own ideas which would 
have to be periodically checked if we kept anything beyond addr:street 
(if we don't then they can just be scrubbed off).

So the maintenance load is greater than zero and, as I have said 
already, it does not add any value.
