Ha I was just wondering the same and Overture has a FAQ that answers that exact question;
Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.
- zigzag312 3y agoWe've focused on designing a data schema that is easy for developers to quickly understand and use in building map products. https://docs.overturemaps.org/ https://docs.overturemaps.org/ OSM focuses on open map editing, but due to it's flexible schema, it can be hard to extract needed information from OSM. Overture seems to focus on providing map data (from multiple sources) that can be used more easily. EDIT: OSM is also trying to improve the OSM data model for easier processing. https://github.com/osmlab/osm-data-model https://github.com/osmlab/osm-data-model
