In my mind what makes these examples particularly egregious is how they 
find room for image logos. If there's room for a Mapbox or Tomtom logo 
like in the images above, there's room for (c) OpenStreetMap

With maps like this, I would expect a "reasonably calculated" 
attribution to have OSM with at least the prominence of other companies.
