I agree with this. But I'm not sure that there is a solution. You can
use XAPI/Overpass API to download only roads in an area, but you get
conflicts (or worse, you move a node and screw up something else without
realizing it) when nodes are shared with other non-downloaded features.
This can happen directly (road passing through a building or the IMO bad
practice of using roads as landuse borders) or indirectly (e.g. road -
parking lot - building - landuse).
