That's kind of by design. Providing streamlined APIs requires a funding model to both host those APIs and pay an army of devops to maintain them. The OSM Foundation is intentionally small and doesn't do that. Rather, it encourages a decentralised ecosystem where anyone can take the data and build services on it - some commercial, some hobbyist, some paid-for, some free. It works really well, and IMO better than the big-budget maximalist approach of the Wikimedia Foundation. |
