I can’t really say I blame them considering how badly Bryan Housel was treated by people in the community over the years. There’s really no upside at this to them allowing the community to have even a minimum of control over the project. There should be some give and take when it comes to the community having any kind of control over anything and there just isn’t any. From what I’ve seen it’s always been completely one sided. I don’t know if the OSMF involvement in the project would be the same way, but it’s understandable that they would want to be as independent of the project as they can be. Especially considering how hostile some people in the community are towards AI mapping and the fact that it’s at the core of their editor.
