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