2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Maybe faux pas to reply to my own comment I made further connections with this.
I literally had cloned and was fixing OSMBuildings.org because, among other things, it wasn't clamping values correctly [1] -- it's why my charging markers are white. But I felt conflicted doing that. I was happy with what I spiked with OSMBuildings and started exploring commercial services like MapBox and a few other OSS projects.
Operating projects and companies and organizations is not easy. It sucks what happened there. I'm not a hater and actually looked to Patreon or similar Paul Norman -- and maybe the 'vector tiles' earmark literally means that? But, I'm not happy with that previous behavior of the organization...
So it's great the OSM Vector Tile service will be dramatically improved...
If any of us start doing something interesting with, will we get jacked up like OSMBuildings? Is that the stewardship of this donations? That's the rub.

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine
One use of that data is creating 3d renders, like this site: https://osmbuildings.org/

Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The maintainer says it's not dead and the website still works, so... https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings/issues/252

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Thanks!
I just browsed the spec again (https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/tree/master/2.1) -- I didn't have as bad of a reaction as I did the first time I looked at it.
I guess the idea of using (Google) protobufs for the "packaging" and then a super tight, custom, byte-encoded format for drawing commands seems... weird to me. But, honestly, it probably makes sense.

From Vector Tiles to LON/LAT?
Read the vector tile specification at https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/ and https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/tree/master/2.1 . The values you're seeing from zero to 4098 are relative to the extents of a given tile. Note the tile extents can vary between implementations.
What are some alternatives?
Nominatim - Open Source search based on OpenStreetMap data
Openstreetmap - The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap
OSMBuilding - render an individual OSM building
osmin - GPS Navigator On-Road/Off-Road for Android and Linux devices
OSM2World - converter that creates three-dimensional models of the world from OpenStreetMap data
