Ok, the discussion at least came to an agreement that this:

Don't be too sure about that. I thought that we could all agree that a
lighthouse had some thing to do with light and houses, but it turns out
that's not an universally held opinion.
We have A LOT of those mapped as
lighthouses (I think the majority of that tag is on the wrong element).
To be fair to those mappers you need to go back and look at how a
lighthouse was defined in the wiki article (eg: from the beginning of
2016
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:man_made%3Dlighthouse&oldid=1257147)
where they are defined as:
"A tower that emits (or emitted) a light signal assisting navigation on
sea."
which is what is in your photo above.
The trick would be to redefine what a lighthouse is so that mappers
might have a chance of getting it "right".
