It loses the information whether or not a route is signed at a
particular signpost. Because, no, it is not the case that every signpost
will always contain directions for every route running closer than x
meters past it.

You may not personally care about that information, but that's a very
different argument. These are verifiable facts that someone found useful
enough to spend time mapping, and I don't think there's anything
inherently wrong with having them in OSM.
