It's also harder to represent both on a map, excepted if you can go to high zoom levels. When we place the housenumber on one side of the building, everyone is intuitively understanding that this side is where the main entrance (or mailbox) is. This is like in real world where the house number plate is rarely on the backyard or in the middle of the kitchen... Also the address tags on polygon works only for the simple "1 address for 1 building polygon" case. All other cases require anyway an alternative. The view of the problem is different when you map addresses in residential areas in towns/villages with single houses or densified urban cities where multiple addresses is common.
