True, but it's not really a good idea to "expand" the meaning of a key 
that's already in use too far - it just makes it harder to identify the 
(in this case) "original street cabinets" used for roadside wiring etc.

The actual values used for this key can be seen at 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/street_cabinet#values , and 
no-one seems to be using it for e.g. Amazon / Inpost lockers. Instead, 
Phil's example of https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5978482863 is a 
fairly typical example, except that worldwide quite a lot of these from 
various providers seem to be two-way - see 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/vending#values .

Best Regards,

Andy
