Then you redefine "motorcar" to "The Map features’ Restriction section

I am opposing the inclusion of busses and trucks in "motorcar", as I
don't think that this is the common interpretation of this tag
(whatever the wiki states about it).

Isn't motor_vehicle used for this? In my experience, the English term 'motor vehicle' does not include sub-motorcycle vehicles, such as motorized bicycles. For example, Florida statutes define

MOTOR VEHICLE.—Any self-propelled vehicle not operated upon rails or guideway, but not including any bicycle, motorized scooter, electric personal assistive mobility device, or moped.

I guess the one difference between this and his change to motorcar is that the latter doesn't include motorcycles. But in the rare case that these are treated differently, one could use motor_vehicle=yes motorcycle=no.
