That doesn't make the slightest difference, because the only people adding addresses in any meaningful way are those 1% of contributors. Just imagine that we increase the number of new OSM contributors by an order of magnitude, to ~2'000'000 per year, and just as magically we get them to make the single edit they typically make to be adding an address, instead of whatever they actually wanted to do. Even then, in the as good as it gets fantasy scenario, it would only be 20% of the current run rate. And that in turn is probably an order of magnitude or so too low for Steve (aka 50 years or so to "complete" world wide coverage).
