I applaud that the LWG is undertaking an effort to sure up our
attribution guidance.
IMO the sentence in question MUST be changed from "should" to MUST!
The, rather old, issue with that, is that it stops people from providing
better attribution (again old example: on map attribution vs. a
paragraph underneath). Any guidance should, IMHO, just lay down the
rules for the minimal acceptable attribution but not limit how that can
be improved on.

Also the use of the word 'guidance' and 'must' is conflicting...

P.S. I really would like to collect once in another thread the hidden
agendas behind those
* argueing against proper attribution of OSM (why trying to hide to
mention OSM?),
* calling shame license violators "shenanigans" (so there are violators?),
* questioning the legal status of OSMF (why spreading FUD?)

As long as data sources you use have been produced by people who got
paid for their work (through either taxpayer money or private
investments) the discussion is moot - that is not the same league, that
isn't even the same sport. You give first rate attribution to OSM and
second rate attribution to everything else.
How/why is the financing of data source part relevant?
How would you calculate the prominence of data source to split them
into "displayed by default" and "displayed after pressing 'data
sources'"?
While for data visualisations you could calculate number of objects
displayed, what would you do for maps and especially thematic maps?
The latter two would have a specific target group with specific
interests and a specific idea/information to be communicated which
could take a smaller area of the map. A thematic map of X with a
basemap of Y could have visually most part covered by Y, but most
important part of such a map is X.
