That's a fair objection to that specific example. You are correct that it is not representative. Pick some place in Pennsylvania, if you want. Every time I cross over the border from New York into Pennsylvania, I shudder. If $X has the time to make OSM worse by deleting things, then $X surely has the time to do some armchair mapping to add things. If you're bored because your country is completely mapped, come visit the US. Pick any state's list of rivers and streams (other than NY) from Wikipedia, and start clicking. I'm happy to help anybody who wants to add to OSM.
