The "long tail" of different shop tags begs to differ with that! If
what you said was true there there would be an awful lot more
"shop=yes" (see http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/keys/shop#values
, and compare with
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/keys/office#values ).
I don't think it is the map that encourages mappers to differentiate
shops, it is the desire to correctly document reality. The 'dot on the
map' does not really make a difference here.
True. There's more than enough 'Why isn't there an icon for this
shop...' discussions on OSM-Carto's Github.
