I think it is renamed to distiguish the paid play store version from the free f-droid version which is technically the same app.
I found this commit with name changing.
But no further clarification, only:
Clarify osmand naming

Ironic
So that’s when they introduced wavy roads

know for sure but my guess is that the + version is the paid version on play store with unlocked features. Since this is the full free version on fdroid they changed the name to clarify the difference.
Edit: Found on Wikipedia under licensing that this does seem to be the reason. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OsmAnd
To my understanding this is the correct answer

I never noticed either until I saw your post. I’m getting old too. lol. :)
To quote from Wikipedia:
A community-compiled version of the full OsmAnd+ named OsmAnd~ without Google Play services dependency is also freely available on F-Droid.

Osmand+ is the paid play store version, Osmand~ is the open source version. I believe there’s no significant differences.
Osmand open source version does not support android auto
I’ve been wondering this for a long time too actually. Perhaps the name was taken?
