I have noticed the same with the router cuts. They aren't always too
accurate relative to the other operations. The router path will be good
in relation to itself, but can be shifted off from everything else.
Every operation can be a little off from every other. I have had pretty
good luck so far that the mask has been pretty well aligned with the
copper, so I haven't had mask screwing up my pads even though I specify
zero padding.
But I don't know what the standard is anywhere else at the
individual/hobby level. They sure look better than a lot of others.
I also really like the publishing/sharing platform. That could be better
still, but I don't know if anyone else is doing even that much.

great point, for small boards the difference is minor.
However, I will say that at minimum geometries I have had some
concerns with Oshpark on their registration accuracy. Sometimes drills
are not centered.
I have yet to fail a board however.

I usually order from JLCPB too, unless the boards are so small that
OSHPARK gets not really much more expensive. In all fairness, OSH PARK
quality is unbeatable and their PCB have ENIG (gold) finish, unlike
the standard JLCPCB which is lead-tin.
Just my opinion. No relations with neither of the two.
