I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

Try OrganicMaps (https://organicmaps.app) on Android. It's awesome!

it's nice, but its navigation/route finding can be pretty atrocious

This is my favorite front end for openstreetmaps. The only problem is I live in NJ and most addresses are missing. I usually just get coordinates from Google maps and add them manually.

Only thing I consistently don't see well done are parks and other green spaces, where the boundaries are ill defined or missing. Other than that, also my mainstay

Try adjusting them on openstreetmap.org/edit, takes a few minutes at most
