As an example: If it has a name you'd have two objects of that name, when in fact there's only one. If someone wanted to find out how many named wood there are in a city it would return inaccurate data.

I agree with this, that's why IMO we should have 2 distinct kind of properties (and maybe objects), one kind for name (and type of thing) and one kind for descriptions of subobjects like an area where trees grows. inside a named forest you might have lots of areas without actual trees. Eg natural=wood and name=* vs. landcover=trees

No, the name problem is simply solved with a multipolygon or site
relation if needed. This way we still have one single object.</pre>

<br>
Does that get classed as a "relations are not a collection of
objects" problem? <br>
I'm playing devil's advocate here, personally I'm still unsure
peoples objections to collections in relations are. <br>

It is still a forest even if there are no trees atm. Please use
landcover=* to add this information. Or exclude the area if permanent.
One more option would be to use place=locality or even place=forest with
the name
