[Tagging] Is entrance=main reserved for public buildings?

I usually tag industrial/factory and commercial/shop entrances both with entrance=shop and public/civic/healthcare/school/kindergarten buildings with entrance=main. For employee only, I use entrance=yes with access=private (I guess for these we can also use entrance:condition=employee/customers to make it even more obvious, like we do on parkings (parking:condition: resident/employee…)
It is pretty rare to find factories with no visitors/customers entrance at all, so entrance=shop seems fine in my opinion for factories and warehouses.
