I don't fully understand what you're suggesting (it's a long, complex 
sentence), but I feel you're  accusing me of something bad. Please note 
that the first point about general osm-carto purpose in the link you 
gave is clear about the link between rendering and tagging:

"It's an important feedback mechanism for mappers to validate their 
edits and helps to prevent unfavorable fragmentation of tag use."

I'm talking about them on their own merits, because they are autonomous 
parts of OSM "ecosystem", but that doesn't mean they are not connected 
in any way, so I talk about these links too.

It's a simple observation: tagging limits and shapes what we render, 
rendering have an influence on the way we use tags. It's better to be 
aware of it to mitigate "tagging for rendering" (which means *tagging 
the wrong way* just to see something, not the feedback loop!) for example.
