I doubt that; I think people are adding place=* to boundary relations
I have also noticed this in various occasions, while this is mostly/often 
"wrong" for whole settlements (they tend to have bigger administrative areas 
around them than the actually developed space, unless they are in very dense contexts and 
the end of one is the beginning of the next), it is often the right thing to do for 
settlement parts like quarters.

Didn't dig deeper into the issue about actual percentages of the different 
styles, but I know from discussions on the lists that there are at least a few 
examples of place areas on their own (this is a field where many mappers will 
delete your tag on an area because they'll say that it's duplicating data, and 
as the node gets rendered but the area not it is clear to them that the area 
must go).

place tags on areas are, putting it kindly, a complete mess right now.

I ran into this with https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/546. It's absolutely horrible in the US where imports have put place=city on every incorporated/charted area as well as every CDP, and it frequently gets added to admin boundaries in non-dense contexts where the administrative boundary is not coincident with the place.
