While the OSM database structure is capable of doing routing, it's not hosted on the main server. OSM runs on a tiny budget. Routing data is only as good as the data in OSM, and there are a whole bunch of users who do nothing but fix local routing errors. I don't think you've seen nerdy until you find out some of the very specialised things that OSM mappers do for fun.
And what about street view?
Sheesh; picky-picky. There are a few street view sites associated with OSM; http://openstreetview.org/ is the first I found. No pictures? Add 'em. You have a phone camera and no excuse.
