I don't think you were unclear. The response probably refers to the fact
that, unfortunately, very few business websites offer contact data in a
machine-readable format.

Therefore such a feature could only be used very rarely, making it hard
to justify the implementation effort.

However, all hope is not lost: This functionality would be ideal for a
JOSM plugin. And it's not unheard of that popular plugins later make it
into JOSM itself.
