Fair enough. If you don't have the skills or the computers or the money
to create a nice map, then you have to talk someone else into creating a
nice map for you.
But I don't think this should be OSM. That would mean diverting
resources from creating valuable geodata to creating pretty end
products. I would rather see someone else take up that work, using OSM
data to create nice maps of all kinds.
I'm not saying it should not be done, but I don't see it as a task for
the OSM project. Much as the opencyclemap or the various hiking maps are
not organised or funded by the OSM project.
