Not disagreeing but unfortunately a lot of data sources have different opinions on this. And sometimes categorizations are actually useful indicators to tell what is what.
Composable and namespaced tags is exactly what we do in my company. It gives us a lot of flexibility and it mirrors what OSM does. You can do a lot of duck typing against such a system and it will work as good as your data is without breaking completely when you get bad data. You just loose some features.
