The motivation should be simple.  Open up the stylesheet, and you get to be
in the main map.  Don't open up the stylesheet, and you don't get to be in
the main map.  No demands, no guilt, just a simple choice.

But I'm not sure how likely that is to happen.  Who controls what options
get into the main map?

As for the name of the OCM project, I agree it's misleading, but I don't
think OSM deserves trademark protection over the highly generic term
Open*Map, so it's really none of our business.
