it is relevant, because water=* is about the Specification of a water body 
while waterway=* is also for features related to waterways, like fuel stations, barriers on waterways, features like docks and boatyards, and more:

the water-key is hardly used on nodes, and 80% of these few nodes are temporary (representing lakes, reservoirs and ponds which will probably be converted to areas sooner or later: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/water?filter=nodes#values
 while waterway is more often used for classical point features https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/waterway?filter=nodes#values
