How does Apple Maps get away with using OSM data?
Apple does quite a lot of improvements on OpenStreetMap: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata

OpenStreetMap proven to be a highly accurate map in top US cities
Apple does contribute to OSM quite a bit, see around 4:00 in https://2020.stateofthemap.org/sessions/SPRQVZ/ for details of corporate contributions: "Apple is currently doing the most work on the map".
Here is the base repository of their contributions on GitHub: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata
And if I see this correctly, the #adt hashtag (for Apple Data Team) contains already +100000 changesets for this year alone: https://osmcha.org/?filters=%7B%22comment%22%3A%5B%7B%22labe...

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps – part 1/3
Apple has an active team editing OpenStreetMap and their maps use OSM data in many countries. I see them making edits in my country regularly (they tag changesets with “#adt” so they’re quite visible). More info on the OSM wiki and their GitHub repo:

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps – part 1/3
I've once spoken to an OSM "evangelist" and he really struggled to get this point.
In a way I got his point the OSM model can virtually store anything so it's the data provider burden to develop a glue code to interact with OSM.
However because of potential vandalism or sheer goofiness objects and ids can potentially break at anytime so writing glue code is actually not trivial.
Maybe a half way solution would be to promote generic glue code framework. I've heard about this project by a french local authority that help sync back data from OSM to your own database. Dunno if other similar projects exists.
