I once wanted to correct a simple error in Google Maps (a library in my city was mixed up with a stadium, they were on the wrong sides of a road, facing each other).
I sent via Google Maps a correction which was rejected "after review". WTF, I told myself and fought back. They said then that it was "personnaly reviewed by someone", to what I replied that I "personally bike there everyday". I then sent a screenshot of their own Streetview and selfies of mine.
After a few months they magically approved the change.
It is sad to see such reactions when they (also) rely on user-provided information.
OpenStreetMap took me a few moments to update (and actually put these entities there, the canvas was already available)
