Why does what the buildings look like matter? Hospitals look like office buildings. So do schools. We differentiate their tagging based on *what we call it and what is expected (regionally) inside*. We wouldn't tag a regional hospital or a university as an office park because the "buildings look the same". Many parks are indistinguishable from natural=grassland or landuse=farmland, but we make the distinction. In many places, a city hall is a very different place than an ordinary office building - even if we don't care that much about them.
