(Low effort comment) I wonder if this means OSMAnd and OrganicMaps will now finally team up to deliver the ultimate FOSS Map app

Both apps mainly use downloaded/"offline" preprocessed map data in their own formats.

MVT format vector tiles are not remotely suitable for navigation or search (not ruling out that something could be hobbled together, but it would be a bit of a stretch).
