Can’t we script a complete copy of Google maps data (shops, highways etc) to this? Is the API restricted? Can we run distributed jobs for it? I can spin up some compute if someone is interested in trying this
No, this is against Google TOS and OpenStreetMap policy on data sources and the Data Working Group will step in and block any accounts doing this to protect the project as a whole.

Yeah they restricted the API a while back.
First, google’s lawyers will not like that.
Second, in many places google maps data is not as good as Openstreetmap.
