Yes, what I mean is that the default editor has these street-level services already there for mappers to use, so they have an advantage.
Mapillary, for example, is also the only street-level option in OSMAND, so even users who aren't mapping can use the data easily.
So, if I were to commit to a service to add data to, I would want it to be the one that would get the most user exposure by default.
"Baked-in" might not have been the best way to describe it, but if it's available in the default editor, then it narrows down my options.
