It's an idea that's been thrown around now and then. In OSM, of course, "why can't OSM..." is usually best rephrased as "hey, let's...". First person plural. Thanks for volunteering! :) (Alternatively, if you want someone else to do it for you, then you can consider voting for OSMF board candidates who are likely to pursue this. I would really caution against this, though, because OSM infrastructure is currently run by volunteers and partly served by donated hardware; turning that into an, at least partially, paid-for service would probably necessitate rethinking the sysadmin and hardware situation from the ground up.)
