Or perhaps "incorrectly redefined"? Your page seems to contradict
itself - at the top it says:
> * building <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building>=*
> /mandatory when the area is a single building/
> * landuse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=military
> <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dmilitary>
> /mandatory when the area is not just one building/

and lower down it says:

So which part of your page is correct - the top part (which would make
your complaint about iD moot) or the bottom part (which seems to try and
redefine a tag that has an existing meaning in OSM, which is surely a
mistake)?
What iD does seems compliant with what the top part of what your page
says, and also with how I personally would always have mapped a military
barracks (but probably never have).
Best Regards,
