One thing I appreciate about the default raster-based maps is how snappy they are. Zooming in and out on OSM is much faster than on Google/Apple/Yandex/Bing maps. Of course, vector-based maps mean I can finally use OSM for countries that use Ethiopic/Arabic/Hebrew/Georgian/Armenian/Hanzi/Indic writing systems.
