I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't put it into words properly. If 40% of noexit tags are on ways, this is meaningful, not some sort of accident. FWIW I also prefer to put the tag on the way, I don't care about the gratification that it gets rendered with a nifty icon in JOSM when put on a node. Also, the way I understand this tag, it applies to motor vehicles, not to bicycles or pedestrians. If the road continues as a path for cyclists or pedestrians, I'd still give the way a noexit tag, as that is what I see on our Belgian roads.
