And somebody mentioned landuse=institutional at 68 uses. There's 332 cases of
landuse=civil, which we have used for areas and plots used for state or
municipality functions that don't fit in the industrial or commercial uses.
They ("civil features") don't exist to produce income (even if they somewhat
do) so the "commerce" part is missing, but they exist because the society has
deemed that it's necessary to make the things that they do happen; like
kindergartens, hospitals, state ministeries, city offices, environmental agency
offices, churches; and they don't exist to process or refine materials, or
construct or physically maintain objects, like depots or the like (industrial).
IMO normal commerial activies involve the assumption that the work people do
there leads to something getting sold.
The choise between civil and some other words is hidden somewhere in the wiki,
but if i remember correctly, in the end "civil" was proposed by some native
English speaker.

One can assume, that most areas tagged as leisure=* are silently implying
landuse=leisure, and, say, amenity=school implies landuse=education - if that's
a zoning category used in that country. If they're used to zoning them
differently, the local consumers can map the tags like amenity=school to their
zoning style. At least here the zoning plans include areas reserved for
"common" functions; usually the zoning also allows commercial use, so if
there's enough private entity interest, they don't have to rezone the plot.
>theatres and cinemas,
>restaurants and nightclubs
On these, if on they have their own area, I'd go with retail or leisure.
Of the mentioned cases, the following are imo "clearly" landuse=civil:
-courthouses
-Jails & Prisons
-parliaments and city counsels (and the levels in between) as well as
supranational "decision making"
-hospitals and clinics (here most of the private ones are inside a otherwise
"commercial" building, so they wouldn't count)
-public administration (with and without public access)
-public services like police, fire, , border patrol, immigration, park ranger
stations, customs areas
-universities and schools and colleges
landuse=Industrial
-plow stations
landuse=leisure:
-skiing park, zoo, theme park, or other tourist attraction.
-sports related areas
Naturally, one could add the subtags as proposed with landuse=institutional.
