I'm not doubting that someone can take OSM data and make it into something usable. I'm not even doubting that someone *has* taken OSM data and made it into something usable.
You obviously have already made up you mind, so I doubt anything I'll say will change that, but...
But I think the analogy between being able to take OSM data, probably add a lot of your own data (espectially for the geolocation information, which is fantastic in some locations, and horrible in others), and being able to go to en.wikipedia.org and just use it, is a very weak analogy.
...if you wanna go this way, I wonder if you "go to en.wikipedia.org and just use it" if you want to plant tomatoes in your garden. I know I wouldn't.
