Note that proposal includes examples of specific OSM objects that are planned to
be tagged with this new tag.

Proposal was started because someone wanted to tag this kind of objects and was
unsure which one would be used.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/man_made%3Devaporation_tower#Rationale

For example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1080478588/history was 
mapped by proposal author

I can retag this objects if anyone feels that it improves proposal.

I recommend reading proposal before sharply criticizing it.
