To use an extreme but hopefully illustrative example, consider the queries used to create the thematic map on this page: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/09/men-killing-women-domesti_n_5927140.html I'm sure you can imagine similar scenarios related to sales leads, potential hires, the healthcare industry or other forms of geographic information that are sensitive for personal or professional reasons. More generally, geocoding services that produce a product that has ongoing licensing obligations--e.g. the user must attend to how the result intermingles with their other data--will always be a hard sell. I realize that this may not be of much concern to everyone here, but I do think that more use of OSM for geocoding will spur improvements in various classes of under-mapped data (addresses, most obviously).
