The issue with addresses is definitely not due to a lack of tools for OSM contributors. For example https://regio-osm.de/hausnummerauswertung/anzeige_dynamisch.html?land=Schweiz&lon=8.71423&lat=47.05777&zoom=8&layers=B0000 which covers essentially all the analytics needed for comparison with open data datasets and that since years (not mention the various address QA layers available, again since years). On the data entry side there are good tools both for surveying, import and conflation en masse.
What might be missing is simpler variant of https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/18/47.40514/8.40289 (I actually have the domain addmyaddress.org stashed away somewhere for that), but while it would be nice to provide a simple facility for people to check and potentially add their address, it is clear that the targeted long tail is not going to make a substantial difference in coverage. So what it really boils down to is grunt work*time (and that is even true for imports). In Central Europe we are well on the way to acceptable coverage, given a couple of years more I suspect it will be really good. Nearly everywhere else (special case the US, and apologies to all the the exceptions to "nearly everywhere") we are missing essential metadata that should come first, aka road names and references, POIs, places and so on, essentially all the stuff that building doodling and ML doesn't provide, but is essential to actually having a usable map.
