each time I look at google's 3d representations for things, I really wonder why they don't do manual touchups for certain places

I mean, if you are including the Eiffel Tower in the intro pages, could both make it look cleaner, and make it use less net resources

We need something like OpenStreetMap but with 3D content like this. And allow people to touch up the models.

OSM Buildings[1] and Mapbox's Unity3d SDK[2] is providing some really cool stuff in this area. Google definitely doesn't have the whole market locked up. I think we'll see some really cool mapping stuff this year.
