It's also pretty amazing how easy it is to contribute. Between things like street complete with gamified quests and the browser based editor on osm.org basically anyone with an internet connection can update the places around them in minutes.

That being said, the fact that there's always something to fix just about anywhere I go tells you there's not enough people that contribute. Tbh I think the major problem is that there's no single go to app that people use all the time and then notice the issues. Though that's changing a bit with Organic Maps. Tesla self parking also had a bunch of new people mapping places, or so I heard.
