Black gum

Didn't figure that would last long...but it was a nice looking tree as I rounded a corner. When I saw it a little closer, it has poor structure (see limb wrapped around the trunk).

I noticed that.
Would you say it should’ve been addressed when the tree was young, and at this point the best thing to do about it is just leave it alone?

I'd leave it. Yes, it should have been pruned of a long time ago. It wasn't a tree I was called to look at, just noticed it driving by so didn't take a close look. It isn't going to hit anything if it fails...
