is not exactly Google Maps in terms of usability, but it’s a functional map

I would personally say that it's better than Google Maps. It's more accurate at least

It depends. In terms of accuracy, I've seen new streets missing in OSM that are updated in Google Maps, but also the other way around.

If you want to find korean restaurants or cheap hairdressers, Google Maps unfortunately still has an edge over OSM. If you want to find hiking trails, it's the other way around.

OSM is missing things like satellite images and Street View, which is undeniably useful sometimes.

I wouldn't say it's worse, but it's better only for certain use cases, and worse for others. :)
