So somehow the people (businesses, entities, etc.) are linked to their housenumber, and as it seemed overkill to have relations for this linkage we usually put address tags on the features as well. (There's some evasion attempt by adding feature data to the entrances and gates, but it has topology issues and combines different "things" in one object, or by keeping the feature address unknown).
