Because otherwise, the logic "if A and B and C then member_club" needs
to be encoded in each and every renderer. Now, I don't mind if you
want to tag the thing "A, B, C, member_club". But tagging it "A, B, C"
and expecting all renderers to give you the right result will not
work. Even less so when you expect a certain icon or something to be
displayed. Can you think of any examples where it does?

(Oh wait, Roy believes that we shouldn't ever think about renderers,
they're totally irrelevant. Just tag what you want to tag.)
