You can add the places with CoMaps, so others may won't have the same experience as you. All places on OSM were added by other users, they don't appear automagically. It's a chicken egg problem, you can help break: restaurants don't put themself on osm because they don't know it exist, they don't know because few people use it, few people use it because restaurants aren't there.

I do! (With street complete), but I thought i would share my contrasting experience.
Im glad this feature exists within comaps, but Ive personally found street complete to be a bit more intuitive for updating the dataset
I do as well.
