Not commenting directly on the pros and cons, but through their cooperation with Here using mapillary for this would make the material directly available to a competitor too. Now you can consider this a good thing or bad, but in any case it needs to be considered.
Slightly OT; while I don't have any first hand knowledge specifically about the UK, but continental Europe has a largish number of companies that do that kind of photographic asset management professionally (and which seem to have an at least half working business model because they still exist). The results of the surveys they do tend to not be open to the general public for privacy reasons and so on, but getting our hands on that kind of material would be great. Naturally these kind of things tend to be "slightly" more expensive than using a smart phone camera.
