Thing is, there is no "THE" map. There's tons of maps in various colour schemes and designs, as well as tons of non-map uses of our data, and this is one of the super strenghts of OSM - we record that there's a motorway, and the map maker can define how they want the motorway drawn. Your suggestion would kill that flexibility, and everyone would have to adhere to that one colour scheme set up by the mapper or editor. It would totally run against everything we hold dear. What you are talking about is essentially "MS Paint with multi-user capability". That's certainly an interesting project in itself but not something that we should remotely consider in OSM.
