That is simply utterly irrelevant. Even if you do not see value of mapping
area:highway=* or shops or detail of individual trees or opening hours
or bicycle parkings or landuse or glaciers or anything else, then it is still not
a valid reason to ask others to justify themself.

Also "but it is useful for XYZ" is not an automatic defence and is not
guaranteeing that data will be kept.

though some advocated mapping landuse=highway or not mapping landuse 
in road corridor of major roads

1) value recognized by you is not necessary
2) may be useful for example for map rendering at city scale
And numerous data consumers use this data.
