The "abandoned" or "disused" tags are for a structure that is not currently
being used for anything. If the structure is currently being used for a
different purpose, it is not abandoned or disused. Nonetheless, you can
often tell what its original purpose was from the shape. You can often tell
the original purpose from farther away than you can tell the current usage,
so it is useful to tag both the building's characteristics as well as its
current use.

I though there was some tag prefix like disused: or abandoned: that could
be used with the building=industrial to note what its original purpose was for.
Maybe you are just supposed to use building=church and shop=poodles for a
church that was converted into a poodle shop - but i imagine that would be
only if it was really really obvious that it was a church, not just by its
shape, but by the presence of original fixtures and ornamental architecture
- not just that it has a steeple on one side.
There has to be some threshold - there are Hundreds and hundreds of 7-11s
that closed in Japan that are now repurposed - but you know exactly that it
was a 7-11 based on architecture alone - but i don't feel tagging
building=convenience_store + shop=poodles on it helps anyone.
