I also want to hate it, but in reality I recently uploaded my first picture and then get monthly updates on how many hundreds of people have seen it and I have to admit the gamification works :(

On the topic: I think it would be a good idea for OSM if done in a good and non-technical user-friendly way.

This is a pattern that OSM could adopt. OSM data is used by about half of FAANG and countless smaller companies and organizations directly and indirectly (through Mapbox for example), so your contributions are seen by millions if not billions, depending on where you are.
There is no way for OSM to know how many people use your contribution in which way.
