Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
The real answer you wanna hear is:
Soon no more! As they will move from pixel based tiles to vector based rendering which will massively speed up load times and allow any zoomlevel you want.

I would recommend using a dedicated openstreetmap app or service.
The website relies on something called tiles to display the map, which are prerendered blocks at different zoom levels.

In order to make any kind of devices able to visualize the map, the tile server will distribute rasterized tiles, which are easy to process even on a low-powered device. The drawback is that those tiles need to be generated by the server and more importantly stored. A tile of the entire earth zoomed out will not take a lot of storage, but the higher you zoom, the more tiles you need. If you don't put a higher limit to the zoom level ,it will take an exponential amount of storage on the server, which is a problem.
since CyclOSM, traffic and humanitarian Style can zoom to 20.. do you know why exactly the Standard Map does limit to 19?
The main URL points to this:
Not exactly a solution, but you can change layer to CyclOSM and you can zoom further
