The only two remotely relevant mentions about it during the discussion process was 1. one user who think there should be a new parents tag that cover both regular taxi and motorcycle taxi, and 2. another who incorrectly assuned "motorcycle taxi" is a combination of two different features just because the term come with a space. That clearly indicate discussion was not sufficient and that the proposal should restart the discussion process.

I'm assuming you mean the following messages in the February thread?
1. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2020-February/051244.html
2. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2020-February/051250.html

Do you expect others who agree with already-stated positions to write
in with a copy?

More widely, it is my impression that "refining with sub-tags vs
creating new tags" has been a culture conflict in OSM since long
before I became active. (I'm just waiting for the fireworks when
someone suggests public_transport=platform + motorcycle=yes)

These objections are not new. You might not agree with them, but their
existence should not surprise you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
