I believe we should simply map the reality. So a reception should be called
a reception, and an entrance (independent from its appropriateness)—an
entrance.
If a company decides to move the reception from one entrance to another,
does it mean we should erase the previous entrance?
My university has the reception at the "back" entrance, the main entrance
being used for official delegations only (that don't need reception) and
for students and staff who have badges. And they are 10 minutes walk from
each other, so it's important to know.

OSM is a database database of things on the planet, not an information
centre for "general public". There are restricted roads, and they are still
mapped. So should by the entrances that are not for public access.
