The tag is "landuse = residenTIAL", not "landuse = residenCE". In other words, as Lester Caine says, it demarcates a residential zone, i.e. an area containing (mostly) homes plus associated infrastructure such as parks, gardens etc, as opposed to an area of shops, offices, industry, farmland, or whatever else. I agree with some of your frustrations about the project, but I think you sometimes jump to negative conclusions too quickly. "landuse=residential" is clearly useful, and equally I don't see that "directions=xx" is any improvement on "oneway=xx". Pick your battles! (e.g. "amenity" I agree is a right mess.)
