But coordinates can be used correctly (shop updating their location
when their location moves).

It is impossible to guarantee it with OSM ids (in theory they could check
OSM object daily to check whether its id changed but that would be absurd)

Coordinates are stable, information attached to coordinates can become
outdated (shop relocated, landmass moved etc) but coordinate itself is stable.
