Many POI are mapped, but some things are not and then you have to rely on a given address. Housenumbers are of the most importance for long streets (300m +), where arriving at the wrong end or side of the road, sometimes partially one way, can make you make a detour of several blocks and a time loss of up to an half hour or more in rush hour.

should get more priority in mapping.

I don't use addresses a lot myself

- navigation for my walks: no addresses needed
- navigation to get to a walk: a street + nearby parking is enough
- navigation to a POI, you could search by name

only in case I need to get to someone's house I need a house number.
