For much of our history, people didn't live long. There's a cost for so much safety and longevity that didn't exist back then.

I was going to mention that if you're out and about, StreetComplete and Every Door and MapComplete are excellent for gamifying casual contributions. OsmAnd has savable custom searches.

But if you're wanting to compare, I'm gussing you might be wanting more than opening hours and cuisine, perhaps reviews?

A little more clarity: where you see "esri" in the lower right corner, the full image says "POWERED BY esri". In other words, ESRI is the platform, not the publisher. It's similar to use of Leaflet or OpenLayers for "powering" (providing the architecture to display) a rendering of OpenStreetMap tiles.

Gerrymandering would only change a state's electoral college votes meaningfully in one or two states.

It's more often an issue of:

1. Citizen becomes voter via "motor-votor" registration.
2. Later, state sends postcard asking to confirm voter's address.
3. Voter sees postcard, looks like junkmail or fraudulent mail, discards without response.
4. State, not checking anything else, drops voter from roll.

The Palestinian people who are not US citizens do not get a vote at all.

Here you assume that there are no Palestinian Americans, very racist.

This is an illogical misinterpretation. Consider a Venn diagram of Palestinians and US Citizens. The intersection is obviously not the empty set. That initial sentence you quoted is describing the set of Palestinians minus said intersection. You even betray your misinterpretation by quoting "Palestinian people who were US citizens" between accusations of racism.

Much of the rest of your comment similarly falls apart from this illogical misinterpretation.

I'm not sure which editor you refer to as "the OSM editor", but surely id has it, JOSM can specify it, and StreetComplete has numerous quests that are disabled by default for various reasons but can be enabled (with SCEE having even more).

As for routing priority, that depends on the routing profile used by the router; there are dozens of routing profiles among several routing providers, many of which probably don't use smoothness but could. OsmAnd can — it targets some smoothness values like unpaved.

Possibly not "companion" per se, but Every Door is available for iOS and MapComplete can run in browser. Go Map!! can provide more detailed editing.

BRouter and other routing engines can use attributes like surface and smoothness (and probably width) to calculate routes.

Are you referring to smoothness=bad or a narrow width? (I'm guessing you've been using StreetComplete to specify each.)

Yes, OsmAnd: https://osmand.net/docs/user/navigation/auto-car/
