Yes, it seems key:drive_thru was recently added to Map Features (and a
few other pages), without any proposal or discussion. I agree that it
makes sense for it to be consistent spelling with service=drive-through
/ service=drive_through.
And it is different thing to key:drive_in, so it should have a separate
page.
I'm not too fussed whether it has a hyphen or an underscore, so long as
one is agreed upon. FWIW the Wikipedia article uses a hyphen, as do a
couple of dictionaries I checked.
