yes, this is something that occassionally pops up, but there is really no actual problem behind this. Maybe the idea is that someone offering presets to his users (for example) would have them grouped just the way the tags are, and someone would have to open the "amenity list" and find thousands of values, so they think if we introduced eat_and_drink as key and move related POIs over there we could "relieve" the "pressure" on amenity, but this is not how it works. Other issues might be "catch-all" rules of some kind. Clearly, having more different keys allows for easier pre-filtering and maybe faster lookup with some database schemes, but the way osm-carto works until today (column-based) puts a very high hurdle on every new key before it could get rendered.
