As said before: *do not mix rendering and tagging discussions*.

I don't fully understand what you're suggesting (it's a long, complex sentence), but I feel you're  accusing me of something bad. Please note that the first point about general osm-carto purpose in the link you gave is clear about the link between rendering and tagging:

"It's an important feedback mechanism for mappers to validate their edits and helps to prevent unfavorable fragmentation of tag use."

[ https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CARTOGRAPHY.md#general-purpose ]

I'm talking about them on their own merits, because they are autonomous parts of OSM "ecosystem", but that doesn't mean they are not connected in any way, so I talk about these links too.

It's a simple observation: tagging limits and shapes what we render, rendering have an influence on the way we use tags. It's better to be aware of it to mitigate "tagging for rendering" (which means *tagging the wrong way* just to see something, not the feedback loop!) for example.
