Doubt it. OSM doesn't allow contributors to rip from Google and alike, scraping would be included in that presumably. Google has the copyright here.

How would Google realistically prevent it from happening slowly organically from real people who happen to look it up

If incorrect data gets copied thats quite a good indicator that we are copying google.

If it's one person, maybe google doesn't care, but frankly I think we should want to get the data in such a way that google doesn't even get to make a noise about it.
