Turning OSM into, essentially a view of local governments would remove the wiki aspect, where anyone can edit it.
Additionally, there is enough problems getting the global OSM community to come up with one tagging scheme. If every country made their own stuff, it would not be one map.

That doesn't prevent the wiki aspect for non-canonical data. I hardly see tagging standardization as a big road block.
