To me it seems clear that a tunnel is often more than just the road leading through it, so that the logical consequence is that the tunnel=yes is interpreted as a thing being inside a tunnel (i.e. tunnel is implicit), just as it is the case with bridges (man_made=bridge is the bridge, bridge=yes means on a bridge). Also note that highway:name is objectively an unused tag with only 188 occurrences for a total of 178 million highway objects, many of them being in china where mapping is underdeveloped due to the general ban of distributed citizen mapping. Also compare this to 12815 occurrences of tunnel:name. I see your interpretation as a change in paradigm and would invite you to formally propose it with the proposal process in order to check the support of the community, if you really believe this definition would be beneficial.
