The name works well for the intended use.
However it limits the use of the tag.
For example .. a tourist might be able to charge their phone/etc
in a cafe/pub when they stop for a drink/meal. It may not be a
'designated device charging station' but the hardware is there.
A power spot under the table at Starbucks becomes a node within the
shop outline:
amenity=device_charging_station
But the intention there is not a 'device_charging_station'?

One could tag every power outlet that seems to be in a public space.
For many years I charged my laptop at
airports by finding the places the cleaning crew plugged in their
vacuum cleaners. But that sort of accidental
charging station is of a different character to a designated place.
If they are usefull and of interest to the public then I'd map them.
Where they cannot be used ..I'd not map them.
Another case.
Camp sites in their shower block sometimes provide power sockets for
hair driers/shavers .. they can also be used for device charging.
Oh .. those with laundries may have power sockets for irons ...
Chain store device charging (like every corporate Starbucks location)
should be discussed. Maybe adding nodes
to every one is less useful than creating a higher level expectation
that the chain offers the amenity unless
tagged with device_charging_station=no.
