All "I prefer tag Y over X" are "rule Z is good way to deciding which tag is better" is
a personal opinion, so I am not sure why you are pointing this out.

I even started from "I see (...)".

(1) most of lead of landuse=reservoir for areas is a result of a bot edit, maybe an import
(2) since 2016 water=reservoir is growing much faster than landuse=reservoir

This quick check is a bit better than just checking total usage count, but obviously
it is not worth much. It may be useful to investigate actual usage among mappers
who are actually selecting tagging scheme used.

This concern tagging details of body of water what is actually not prominent.

"had to revert" is untrue.

Are you manually checking every single part of such edits? Otherwise you
are making automated edits in violation of automatic edits code of conduct.

It is also not too useful, most what you achieve is to confuse other mappers and 
likely scare away some of them.

Please stop doing that.
