I’m referring to very remote places that are poorly marked in OSM
I understand what you are saying. However, in my experience, most locations begin their OSM journey as single points. There are only three types of features in OSM: points, lines, and areas. Streets, trails, fences, cliffs, etc. are obviously lines. Buildings, however, can be marked as both points and areas. Usually, a less-mapped area (like a remote mountain space) will have locations marked as single points because this is the fastest, easiest way to start. At some point in the future, a mapper may revisit the area and add the actual building shapes using the area feature. This can be very time consuming, so it is often not done upon initial mapping.
So, given the above, there could be a scenario where, if only building areas are shown on the map, a storm shelter, having been marked as a point, would not be visible. I see this all around my area. All of the houses in my neighborhood are mapped as areas and are visible on the watch maps, but storm shelters, restrooms, and water fountains marked as points are not.
