(Note that above mention of "@[mmd-osm](https://github.com/mmd-osm) mentioned
this pull request: Intermittent CORS issues with editing API #6028" is just due
to a link typo which they've fixed, so disregard that)

I support this change! I chose to make it very clear in [my profile's
description](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/UW%20Amy%20Bordenave) that my
account is company/organization-related, but affiliation is a pretty common
optional field for many sites now.
As far as concerns regarding incorrect claims of association - no more of an
issue than it is now if someone were to falsely claim something in their
profile description.
If verification is important, you could allow any entry and also add a little
check-mark or similar icon if the account is linked in an Organized
Editing/Activities subpage.
For example, OSM users [UW Amy
Bordenave](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/UW%20Amy%20Bordenave), [UW Ryan
Liu](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/UW%20Ryan%20Liu), and [UW
Maddie](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/UW%20Maddie) would get the
verification check-mark because they are all linked on [Organised
Editing/Activities/OpenSidewalks](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/OpenSidewalks).
Anyone else could claim they're part of the org and just wouldn't get the
check-mark.
That's not perfect - a user can actually be part of multiple Organised Editing
Activities and anyone can edit the Wiki, so maybe more brainstorming needed!
