Even the opponent(s) of changing the wiki's tree definition didn't try
to argue that the wiki definition was better than the alternative. There
was disagreement over whether changing it would cause a loss of
information, and whether it could be tolerated.

With waterways, some actually seem to like the current definition.

So the difference is that the wiki definition for natural=tree is quite
unanimously considered a bad choice. This makes changing the definition
more attractive than trying to increase acceptance of the definition. If
the definition itself is considered decent, however, educating mappers
and fixing existing errors can be a more appealing option.
