The current state of map design in OpenStreetMap
I wouldn't compare osm-website and osm-carto at all. The commit logs are very different.
openstreetmap-website: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commi... . Numerous commits most days.
openstreetmap-carto: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/commits . So far in 2024; one small regression fixed, one niche bit of tagging added to an existing style, some largely pointless code style tidying. That's it.

Pittsburgh busways
There are even two separate PRs to fix it that are pretty much ready to merge https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4456 https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4714
- Btreefs generates executable code at runtime to unpack btree nodes

Tell us about how you communicate within OSM
Looks like sense prevailed the following year. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1654

Tagging a named natural basin or cirque
Of course, natural=valley itself is widely used. I got curious why it isn't rendered on OSM Carto but place=locality is and stumbled on some interesting discussions on the issue tracker (1 and 2). The takeaway seems to be to avoid place=locality in favour of more specific tags.

Is it possible to send area to the backward.
It is strange to me that the pedestrian area gets rendered above the building... would you like to create a topic about this at community.openstreetmap.org ? I think this should be handled differently. I guess the next instance then would be to open an issue at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto (probably but I'm not 100% sure) or maybe here https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations

Why does coasters still not get rendered in OSM? Race tracks, water slides etc. get also rendered, so why not coasters as well.
I think the best bet then is to see if there's anything to contribute to the conversation at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3596 or whether a PR would be welcome.

OpenGeoFiction: The ultimate imaginary map
Yes, it is the same style! In addition to info from /u/epicbirble, the style is called carto. It looks like Floodmap is using the OpenStreetMap standard layer, rendered using carto style, as its basemap.

The current state of map design in OpenStreetMap
Nice for driving, but not for walking. Look how much pedestrian info is simply not rendered in my home area. Tons of stairs and walkways are not visible:

New Google Maps Design: "they missed a key opportunity to simplify and scale."
- https://zelonewolf.github.io/openstreetmap-americana/ is a (vector) style that „applies cartographic practices that are characteristic of maps published in the United States.“

Paper Map Sales Are Booming
It's still very much in the early stages, but https://zelonewolf.github.io/openstreetmap-americana/ is a project to build a rendering system that handles details better. It's using OpenStreetMap data in the OpenMapTiles schema, but giving lots of feedback to OMT when something won't work.
(There's some attempt to make things look nice, but the focis is still on capabilities)

America’s Highways
This is awesome! This reminds me of a project under active development right now called Americana. It's an online "slippy" map that seeks to render every highway shield in the United States, and use symbology reminiscent of old paper atlases. You might want to check it out -- link to map and link to project. There's also this talk that's worth watching, info about highway shields around 6:00. Some national OpenStreetMap organizations, like OSM France, have their own country-specific map styles featured on their homepages. Many American mappers are excited to adopt this one as ours.
