This is also really well said, and we should not overlook that I'm new to OSM and don't know of the time when buildings were not mapped. I see all buildings mapped, and wonder why I need a container to tell me that all things in it are that which it contains to some arbitrary subjective precision. I can't imagine making a technology that would use this as-is. I can imagine answering the problem differently, with a technical solution. It sounds like your opinion is _they're less useful now then ever_. If so, is the community hostile to deprecation? Is there no precedent for saying "this is no longer useful" let's ditch it, or automate it.
If you find manually mapped, unnamed landuse=* areas to be superfluous, you'll just love abutters=*, a key that as of 2008 was just as common as landuse=*. It remains for when there isn't even enough available information to map a proper unnamed landuse=* area manually, let alone algorithmically.
Even where buildings have been thoroughly classified, lots of urban neighborhoods are dominated by apartment blocks with ground-floor retail along major thoroughfares. As the multi-landuse proposal was rejected [1], I suspect people are making different judgment calls based on what they perceive to be the more prominent of the two uses.
None of this is particularly relevant to Houston, but I don't think there's any precedent or mechanism for formally deprecating a broadly defined tag in only the places that satisfy certain criteria. Some local communities try to dissuade mappers from using certain tags or mapping addresses in a certain manner, but it doesn't involve proscribing a practice as well-known as unnamed landuse. The closest thing I can think of was the situation around population=* in China, now resolved. [2][3]
If, like me, you want to see fewer unnamed landuse areas in your backyard, map more named landuse areas corresponding to retail and residential developments. These areas not only reduce the pressure to "fill in" the map visually but also add information about the shape of these developments that's often difficult to obtain from other map services.
