In my view - the reason apple is mapping private tennis courts, is not because it actually sees a benefit in mapping peoples backyard, it's because it's using a level of automation that recognises them. For OSM it's nothing more than a colouring-in exercise. I agree with Andrew that marking a bui

I usually mark all residential buildings, including the main house or strata building, as building=residential.  I feel it useful but safe. I usually map in Sweden where planning regulations encourage a plethora of out-buildings whose use is difficult to judge from imagery: garages, spare rooms
