<div>Cuisine often is essential even for the basic map stuff:
a map about pizzarias vs. a map about chinese restaurants,
or a map that has distinct icons for different food and
drink facilities.<br>
</div>
The operator might be interesting, too, e.g. to get all
parking spaces operated by a specific company, all bus stops
operated by a particular public transport operator and so on,
again e.g. as a map.<br>

<div>Good explanation, I like this. However there is still the
opening hours. How would you use it on a map? Would you make a
dynamic map in which only amenities that are open *now* are
drawn? </div>
</blockquote>
that's one possible, and I remember at least one map where exactly
that was done (but I don't know the link currently).<br>
A student community at my university operates a page with delivering
restaurants including "open", "opening soon", "closed", "closing
soon". It allows to find a currently open pizza delivery to place
your order.<br>
Currently there isn't a map and they don't use osm data for that,
but it's useful for students who forget to buy something for dinner
while sitting in the university and learning ;)<br>

That's the beat-all argument to stop operating osm as a whole.<br>
It's a similar disaster if your garmin fails to find the destination
point and much more. That's not different here.<br>

Now you're talking about vandalism? wrong data because of people
willingly adding wrong opening hours to e.g. hide competitors?<br>
That's nothing due to opening hours, without it would be as easy to
delete the restaurant as a whole.<br>

<div>Now I'm probably exaggerating, but the point is that opening
hours is the same kind of "OpenAmenityDirectory" information as
links to web pages are. You can't use it geographically to make
a map about opening hours. <br>
</div>
</blockquote>
That's true for every tag to a certain degree.<br>
As described above: I can do a (e.g. web) map that marks restaurants
as open or closed. I can do a map that shows the website of the
object.<br>
