That's an OpenStreetMap bug, the intersection likely isn't marked as not allowing turns. If you put a note (OSMAnd calls them OSM Notes) on the map someone will fix it when they can.

To add to this, a barrier to contribution can reduce low quality/spam contributions. The downside is that a barrier to contribution that's too high reduces all contributions.
My understanding is that most of those issues stem from Xorg's core design not really being compatible with modern hardware and the only way to fix it requires breaking all clients.

For anyone wondering how this works: the cellular modem is a separate general-purpose computer that runs code from the manufacturer and the service provider, the only thing needed to allow tracking a phone that's off is circuitry to allow the modem to draw power independent of the rest of the phone.
