I see your point that it's not a "natural" forest, but national
forests are important institutions as preserves, especially, in addition
to their other uses (recreation, research).
Having just returned from a camping vacation in the Southwest,
I am especially aware that the national forests, as an institution, play
an important role there. On most map systems, they are noted by their
green color, and that is what most map users expect to see. They use
the color to plan where to camp and where they can conduct certain
activities (hunting, fishing).
Shouldn't their special status be noted somehow?

I removed the landuse=forest from the national
forest relations in Utah:Â

The map will look very white :( but at least it's not wrong anymore.

I agree with Martijn and Paul. To not repeat
some of the arguments I want to point out that
there was a similar discussion on the mailing list two years ago:
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-May/010759.html>misuse
of the landuse=forest tag for national forests
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-May/010756.html
I think there was no agreement reached back then
so we just kept the status quo.
