With this logic, all objects in OSM would be mapped with a unique tag.
object=black_road_with_cycle_lanes_in_each_direction.

A watch tower is as complex as a road with several features, not a simple
object.
I don't get why a power tower can't be used as communication and watch
tower also.

Experience shows us that providing tagging assemblies is more
comprehensive, versatile and sustainable.
man_made=tower + usage=watch + material=wood sounds better than
man_made=wooden_watch_tower


All the best
