In this case to the      companies that are using a third parties infrastructure to produce      rendered maps from OSM data. So while we can stipulate an ethical      and moral obligation of the third party to enforce attribution      requirements, legally it is an obligation of the      website/service/whatever operator that is a customer of the third      party.

Yes, I know that. But I guess that while it would have many harmful side effects 
and it should be used as a last resort I guess that Mapbox would react if they customers would start 
getting DMCAs.

And anyway Mapbox itself is also hosting some maps that on mobile refuse to show
proper attribution (despite that it would take less space than Mapbox logo that is
displayed), so their example pages can be DMCAed.

Additional question - who can file DMCA. AFAIK only OSMF can do that and individual
mappers are unable to do it, right?
