If street_cabinet is used to tag substations in kiosk format (which
usually is considerably larger than a street cabinet), then it will
loose its value in discrimnating "core" street cabinet objects.

Substations are attributed kiosk if they almost share size or volume
with a legacy kiosk that sells stuff - often not in height, but in
length + width.  Admittedly, the location key may not be the best
place to put a dimension-describing value in.

Kiosk substations may have space to house a technician, but inner
equipment may fill the space to the point that there is not much
room behind the panel doors.

Because they often lack entrances for humans and the roof commonly
is undistinguishable from its walls (spare its location), it may
feel strange to some to speak of them as buildings.
