In the case of google they further have complete control over any applications using the data.
In contrast we produce open data, as essentially the only player, that is used in many different ways and the down stream consumer might be very very very many steps away from us, requiring and technically implementing extensive attribution of 3rd parties down stream is simply completely impractical IMHO (for example you would have to maintain the attribution data in every format you convert OSM data to).
