That doesn’t change the fact that it causes problems for openstreetmap

It does not. But it means they are trying to limit the damage caused by griefers, and moreso than just displaying a popup message with "please don't grief openstreetmaps" or something. Imagine how bad it would be if changes to openstreetmaps actually were immediately imported into the game...
