Maybe “pull” was the wrong word. However, looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/History_of_OpenStreetMap I see:

• 4th December 2006 – Yahoo! aerial imagery sketching allowed…
• September 2007 – TIGER data import for the US started
• 20th September 2007 – AND Data for The Netherlands imported
• 1st April 2010 – Ordnance Survey Opendata releases.
• 30th November 2010 – Use of Bing vertical aerial imagery allowed

And on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors it shows well over a hundred counties/regions with hundreds(?) of non-user data sources/sets that are used by OSM to maintain the map.

Edit: clarity.

OSM pulls from a few different sources, but for exact details it’s the community that enters the data. Can’t find an address or business? Add it and then it’ll be there for everyone.

Since it relies on Openstreetmaps if an address isn’t added it can’t find it. You’ll likely always be able to find the street, but you may need to add the specific number yourself. Then once it’s entered it’s available for everyone.

Sounds like a cat. The entire place to vomit and it finds the most expensive/inconvenient thing to lay that stomach lasagna on.
