'established' is a big word. I'm surprised by the taginfo stats. I never used this tag myself and I don't remember if it was really discussed in the international lists. It is in the wiki since July. These numbers can only come from an import or a bot. I find the key "location" the worst possible choice we could find for such a tag. An OSM "node" with lat/lon coordinates is a location. All poi's are locations. All "place" entities are locations. All addresses are locations. And what to say about the wiki example with traffic_sign which is pointing to a node where the tag is more a "note" than anything else. The wiki says "in context of traffic sign=*: may be used to designate the location of a traffic sign where the mapped element does not necessarily correspond to the physical location of the sign". Please map the elements where they are physically, not where they should be...
