With regards it being easier, it is if you don't opt to make it easier to do otherwise at the outset.
For example, using iD, your last 4 tags applied appear each time you create a new feature. You only need use house/shed/garage/farm_auxiliary once for them to appear. In fact you have to do the same level of effort as to only use building=yes. In JOSM, there's a few ways to go to achieve the same or better I guess the thing is whether this is a result by design or is it an unintended consequence. If its by design, then I would argue that the design could be improved. If its an unintended consequence, then its just a matter of sorting it out. Don't get me wrong, I think it great that there is a new task to focus the local community.
