Yep. OSM was set up by some people from the UK and the OS knows the location of everything that's more than about 20cm big and nailed down (from planning applications & surveying), so they have lots of high quality data.

However most people/businesses don't need that.

Just look at Google maps & OpenStreetMap. They don't have submetre accuracy, however there are still quite useful to people and businesses.
