I use bollards all the time , guardrails too. If i tagged it as you suggest, we wouldn't need any of the cycle barriers, pinches, nor chicanes if they happened to be made of poles. we could use bollards for it all.
The guardrails are there not to contain a car nor block access, they are positioned for enforcing maxwidth - just as a barrier=height_restriction is not there as a lamp post or sign. A chicane or pinch point is not a bollard either - a bollard is meant to completely block access by being in the way. This is a set of "bollards" positioned to do a different job as a set (like the ones used to make a traffic calming=chicane or a pinch) - so i feel that a guardrail or bollard would not reflect the item properly in the database nor be rendered properly either.
