I view it as helpful. When the phone number or website change registration, it's a flat that the OSM data is out of date. In my website tag checker, I load the website given and look for the phone number. What it kicks out primarily are lots of restaurants that are in OSM but out of business. --- The damage stuff however has no such cross check. It will likely rot in the OSM database, getting more and more unverifiable.
