yes, the written/tagged assumptions (additions) derived from OSM then
are disclosed from the public. OSM should be totally useless for them,
let them do their own non community related PSM privatestreetmap.
I have no interest to support people with an non-public interest who
won't feed back their data. I give my data to them, that they can do
something interesting for us too. Which interest do you have to hide
places with a lot of mushrooms from us?

I do agree with with you that far less maps will be generated, it will
grow more slowly, but in the end we didn't miss a historic chance to
free data which gain momentum anyway. Its a different dynamic.
