A feature goal for this deployment was that the tiles would update continuously, keeping up with changes that people are making to the OpenStreetMap database.
Providing that feedback is one of the main purposes of the site.
Here's how I understand it: Previously, OpenStreetMap's tile endpoints would serve pre-rasterized PNG images, so zooming in on a tile could cause it to get blurry, until your client requests a new, zoomed in tile. Now, they can serve tiles in SVG format, which scale better

They still are blurry, because openstreetmap.org uses a JS library that does not seem to support vector tiles :/
