I see many merits in What3Words solution.
I don't think it should be incorporated into OSM en-masse but a place
adding its address:what3words=pull.donkey.cart should be fine in my
view, just like them adding phone= and even the disappearing fax=

... except it's not _just_ the "oligarchy", is it? No-one on this list

And even many of the the lurkers don't. Central repository is bad for
longevity.
Actually I'm impressed by Google's attempt called open-location-code,
it's actually pretty
useful, completely open and doesn't require a central authority. Kind
of no-brainer including
their already provided javascript on a page, and the hierarchical
approach is really neat.
