First: the matter has been discussed at length previously so i would advise 
anyone who wants to form an opinion on the matter to read up on past discussion 
where essentially everything relevant has been said already.  Most relevant 
links:

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2020-July/054405.html
and resulting discussion:

As you can read in the proposal linked above the range of tidal influence forms 
the upper limit of the range practical coastline mapping in areas with 
significant tidal range but as it is in practical mapping not the universally 
used limit.

Third:

While this is ultimately not relevant because the delineation of tags in OSM 
should be based on verifiable criteria obviously i have never seen any map that 
displays ocean water and inland waterbodies in differentiated form that shows 
the Chesapeake Bay as inland water.

Classical examples with differentiated rendering are TPC/ONC (caution: links go 
to large images):
