I guess I missed the beginning of the discussion. I agree with you that
this particular inclined elevator doesn't really resemble a funicular and
shouldn't be tagged as such. If it's indoors or operates on demand by a
button press, tagging it as an elevator in some way would be more
appropriate (though I'm still unclear on the best way to do so).
