Well I'm a keen cyclist and don't have a car, but I still map petrol stations (and I don't eat meat but I still map steak restaurants).
I'm using my bike as the best tool to make a systematic map, not because I'm a cyclist. It's terribly inefficient for one person to survey an area for petrol stations and another for restaurants.
Addresses are a bit different because its a whole different level of detail. But because you don't think its fun doesn't mean others don't enjoy it (or even do it because it is enjoyable). I did my village to see what it would take, but in general I took the view that I wanted to get complete street level / poi coverage for the area reasonably within my reach before I started on the next level of detail down.
