just because a tag isn't used as it should in a certain area of the world 
doesn't mean the tag doesn't work. You could say (or have said) the same for 
highway=track
Looking at areas with relatively recent/ still kind of immature mapping (few 
active on the ground mappers, etc.) also doesn't prove anything. Once a problem 
is detected you can work to solve it, e.g. write to the individual mappers from 
your overpass query results above, improve the french wiki: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Tag:shop%3Dboutique (btw: it doesn't 
explicitly say it is limited to clothes, neither in French nor in English), etc.

cheers,
Martin
