If OSM is about mapping what exists today .. why have the tags
that mean there is nothing left of it?

The main OSM website/database shouldn't. it is for *current* data. <br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openhistoricalmap.org">https://www.openhistoricalmap.org</a> was design specifically for the
purpose of representing old data.<br>

The question with ephemeral data is, at what point in time do you
refrain from adding info?<br>
I live in a historical Roman city. It would be clogged up with old
infrastructure if everything was added.<br>
