I hear what you're saying, but with a tag that's used 600K times (on 226K ways), we have to look at actual usage for part of our guidance. *Totally* unscientific, but I used overpass turbo to zoom in on multiple areas around the world and look at ways that are tagged amenity=place_of_worship, and the vast majority appeared to be building outlines. Using it for the grounds seems like an outlier. (if someone else wants to do more robust research, I'd be happy to see it! :) So, while using place of worship for the grounds may be correct in certain case, in the majority of cases, the common usage seems to leave a question about how to tag the grounds.
