It's not a synonym either. The wiki said for years that surface=ground is "probably the same as surface=ground", and now it incorrecty states that it is "a duplicate of surface=dirt". So this surface=earth tag is totally spoiled by bad definitions, whereas the meaning of surface=soil is obvious. Additionally, I consider soil to be soft, whereas earth may be denser (compacted or containing stones). -- Friedrich K.
