They need to get over the misconception that OSM can't do those things, a misconception that is reinforced by our current default slippy map. Furthermore, it's a win-win. We don't have to (indeed, we shouldn't) stop all the good stuff we're doing already. We just need to do some extra things, probably with different people working on them. Voluntary projects are like that, of course - you can't go around telling a highly motivated person to stop the worthy task he cares about and work on one he doesn't. Instead, you find someone else who wants to do it.
