Not an issue.

Use of appropriate subtags - as is done ?

building=museum
attraction=museum (can be used for indoor or outdoor museums.)

Mapping is doing both. Shows there's a building and identifies its
function. building=museum does both and is an good example of efficient
tagging. (as opposed to building=yes + museum=yes) but building=museum +
museum=industrial is less efficient but more informative.

Agreed. We're in a 'nightmare' of trying to create flexible tags and
precision. OSM is a nightmare^5 it's difficult to see that issues are
resolvable other than by unacceptable compromise.
