And I'm forgetting the biggest issue:
>> additional effort to convert the map data into their proprietary
>> format due to the lack of structural information.
If "convert the map into their proprietary format" is only something
that can be done at the car manufacturers mercy, as in: they don't
provide (preferably free) tools to do so or the description of their
format, then it's useless anyway. The whole issue is that the customer
is free to use the OSM maps on navigation devices.
I don't see the added value of having an OSM map if I still have to
wait for (paid) updates by my car manufacturer.
