Different maps have different update cycles. The slippy map on osm.org is meant to update as quickly as possible, usually a few minutes, but sometimes there are hiccups. Zoom levels that show larger areas also update a little slower.
As long as what you are adding is up to date/accurate, I wouldn't worry about whether you've captured everything about the features. "This thing is here" is a lot better for the map than no information.
This approach appears to directly reduce energy use (that's what the articles says). The heat would still be going into the local environment, but if there is a reduction in energy use, there should be less of it.

You could get angry about anything I say, I don't really care, you do you.
I guess Medicare and Medicaid also don't have the incentives. Nor does Tri-care or the VA. My employer self insures as far as I know, and we are a few hundred people. Maybe 90% is a bit off?
Large swaths of US insurance are underwritten by employers, with the insurance companies acting as contracted administrators. Employers don't have the incentives you list.
