Seems rather self-defeatist.
MM == missingmaps, sorry. The point is that you can use OSM, the infrastructure and tools, as a convenient and free service for mapping without buying in to OSM the collaborative, community driven mapping project, the only thing which is really required is that you have to live with the licence as determined by the contributors. In the end not much different than if you were to buy such a service from ESRI. Now we don't really require buy in to OSM the project when people sign up, historically this has mainly caused issues with individuals and some times companies that have gone off on a tangent. But there is no doubt that a lot of things about OSM are "different", the rules, the structures (or rather the absence of them), how we technically do things and in the end getting community buy in to whatever you are doing, that are considered pesky annoyances and particularly a hindrance when you are on a mission to save the world.
