A value of residential here seems to need a key to identify whether
it relates to a building or landuse. However, you suggest
building=residential as possibly being redundant. In fact, I'd turn
this on its head and make landuse=residential (with the exception of
moles) redundant. The only residential landuse is directly under a
building but by using landuse=residential, such areas cover gardens
and highways - which are clearly not residences.
No.
Landuse - a facility (what it gets used for)
The governmental authority here says an area is for residential use ..
They do that before there are any houses thus it is not just the area
under a building.
building - a physical item (what is there on the ground)
A building that is used for residences has a particular set of features
that distinguish it for other building types e.g. a mall.

I use my garden! I go out there and read, email .. even do OSM ... in
the garden.
The street in front of my home gets used by the kids to play soccer,
tennis ...
The land use is 'residential' .. even in the garden. And the neighbours
swimming pool.
The house is also residential.
I and my neighbours reside here - we use all of it.
