then some quality assurance tools will start complaining. and since their
developers don't like associatedStreet relations, their will never be a
fix. Many simple apps based on OSM also ignore the associatedStreet
relations, so you will never have a  complete address. Even OpenLinkMap
requires it I believe

As  a programmer I'm in favor of the associatedStreet relation (do not
repeat the same data over and over), but I also see that the OSM community
is not ready to use it.
