To properly link your mapping to your identity, someone would both need to be able to link whatever online username you’re using to the one in street complete. Which could be either easy or very hard depending on how correlated they are (same username maybe?)
And even then the accuracy will probably not be great, maybe up to the city. Any more specific than that will be hard unless the edits are very obviously centered around a street.
TLDR: probably not too bad of an issue
About the HP thing, your point seems to be that because people do not use the tools given to them (that would make the fight easier if used properly) things get too hard later… If people are kneecapping themselves by thinking ‘all I need is dash and slash’, well they kinda had it coming.
