Gathering data for OSM on the ground is so much more than just the track of a road. When someone just traces the OS data with the names it superficially looks complete, but all of the additional data that a survey would bring is missing and that is where much of the value comes from. This 'complete' look puts off other OSMers so the net result is long-lasting, crap quality data with all of the OS errors and omissions and no added detail.
I think your making some unfounded assumptions about how mappers go about mapping.
OSSV adds additional, useful data that would otherwise be unobtainable. Waterways & Wooded areas are the prime examples.
