that same page also states "To provide address information for buildings

So IMHO it should not go on ways (including service roads).

I wonder which application uses addr:street on ways.

While it is not needed, it doesn't harm. So it wouldn't be my first
priority to fix, when I will remove one when I encounter it. As André
pointed out, there are more serious errors (e.g. bad routing).
