Office is a tag that is already finegrained (i.e. "notary" is not overly specific within this category), while putting the notary information into a rare subtag is a bit like "hiding" it.

My point is, it is growing faster not because it is good, but because it is in the JOSM presets. Mappers who chose it didn't think twice about which tags JOSM places on the objects.
