Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

I have not had Google Maps on my phone for a couple of years now, but I still think that GMaps is superior. Locations are more maintained, address geocoding is near perfect, it has plentiful useful reviews, and live traffic updates.

As far as location maintenance, this is obviously correlated with usage, and so I hope this will improve over time.

I see very little progress on the other three.
