I don't understand this argument. Doesn't every tag change anywhere "break
every editor/renderer/search/data user" whether or not you think it is

John has just as much right to go change all the amenity= tags to something
more specific as you do to keep them the same. Data consumers of all kinds
need to accept both kinds of changes.
