sometimes, you have no insight whatsoever.

No, I cannot create the nice map.
It doesn't belong in MY skill set.
I may have a long string of qualifications, but none relate to computer
stuff.
There are others like me, whose skills are different, and we would like
to see 'a nice map' hosted by OSM.

Once again, I see people who have taken up a position of power within
an organisation which is supposed to "support OSM", start telling
everyone else what OSM is and is not, without actually asking OSM
contributors exactly what OSM is and is not.
