I think you have a slightly narrow perspective of OSM.

Yes, it has street in the title & yes, it says "/such as street maps" 
/in the tag line, but it doesn't say 'only' street maps.

Do you think parks, pubs, recycling centres etc shouldn't be mapped?

If it's a physical entity then it can be mapped.
