Your question is the same as if someone asked why isn't there an official
Linux; not Ubuntu, not Mint, not Debian, but simply official Linux
distribution.
Open source and open data don't work that way. A healthy ecosystem with
lots of apps is the goal.

Actually it is worth to notice that Osmand is free and open-source.
Osmand+ is the ' donation' version, and night ly build is also available for
free from google-code.
Digging a little, you'll also find ski map and contour lines for Osmand :)
