For me it is not unthinkable that once a company starts using OSM data for a commercial offering, they might start demanding to add that data. Of course they cannot demand anything from the community, but they can import the data, or some people might feel a need to import data, or... It's hard to explain in a foreign language and via mail. But for me, allowing (address) imports is already a form of obeying that marketing demand. Then OSM is no longer about people surveying and drawing from aerial images.
