We shoot ourself in the foot by keeping this chaos.

This question is also related to the single contributions debacle,
tools developers, inconsistent presets, etc
An additional WHERE statement can solve issues for the renderers but
they may fail to help other data consumers. Also you have to know that
some level of complexity is creating a new market for 'specialists' or
'experts' who can sell commercial services for interpreting the OSM
dataset. So maybe not everyone has interest to simplify the project.
