I see you saying this another time, but I doubt it's as common opinion
as you make it to appear.

Using "purpose" for building differentiation is quite standard in
mapping (to name a few - BDOT Polish topographic maps, all the
different cadastre maps and so on. And that's how I've seen it used in
OSM, too.
