The way I see it, we’re mapping the world, as it is. Not just
places where the general public may have an interest in navigating
to it. If you were to make an analysis about the functional
structure of a city you would want to know about the offices, even
if they are not open to anyone besides their clients and business
partners.
And parcel deliverers. And others. Just because most people don't
need or want to know
about them, that doesn't mean nobody wants to know.
That said, in the few cases like that where a company doesn't
specifically make its location
public knowledge, if I find out it's there I check if it wants its
location mapped. If it doesn't,.
I map only the building name/number.
If it can be seen from the street then it is a navigational aid and
should be mapped, even if the general public cannot go there.
OSM maps military establishments where the general public cannot go.
