As much as I like OSM, I had to switch back to Google Maps for two reasons:
1. The library is better designed use out of the box
2. The tile layer is more professional to regular users
For 1, I just need something easy to use. Leaflet is great but you still need more manual coding than google. Google's library is very intuitive. For a feature, I will barely touch after implementing, I prefer Google's: less learning the api, and gets the job done.
For 2, I know there is Mapbox, but they don't provide a tile layer similar to Google or when tiled, some buildings are simply missing. I just want a Google-styled tile layer. If someone could provide this, I will switch back.
Google's style and cartography is copyright, so it's not allowed to simply copy it. They also change it every year or so, often to emphasise businesses over things that don't pay.
You can use https://OpenMapTiles.org to style your own map with vector files generated from OSM data.
