There are also some nice services using OSM data. E.g. one of my friends runs the opencage geocoder which uses open data. Also there's at least one good navigation product out there (graphhopper) that I know about. There are several companies providing map tiles. And depending on what country you are in, OSM data may actually be superior. E.g. OSM data in Germany is ridiculously detailed compared to just about everything else. Lots of slums have detailed OSM maps when most other provider just show a blank space.
If you stare a lot at maps for the Bay area, this is about as good as it gets for e.g. Google and Apple maps. Don't assume you get the same level of detail everywhere. Making maps is complicated and expensive. OSM is pretty competitive in many places and the best there is in quite a few other places. And if that's not the case, the locals can fix it, if they want to.
