I see nothing wrong with the vast majority of the usages of amenity.
The reason it's "so common" is because people want to use it & it works.
Many users don't appreciate the differences between the key tag & the
value tag.
As long as the meanings of the value tags don't overlap I don't see much
of a problem.
If the key tag does need distinguishing then it can be done with sub tags.
I think time would be better spent changing key tags that are subjective
adjectives (historic,natural, man-made etc.) to nouns.
& getting rid of the power tag altogether.
