I would not call it "excuse".




There is combination of various effects




- some people want rendering before tagging is actually widely used

- some people want rendering before tagging is properly discussed


- some people want rendering before tagging is supported in editors

- some people want rendering before tagging is supported in any other map style,

despite that there are ones focusing on a given topic 


- some people want rendering of tagging that is highly controversial to improve 
their position

in a dispute

- some people want rendering of tagging that is obnoxious to render

- it is undesirable to have tagging discussions on issue tracker of a single 
rendering

 

- it is undesirable to have tagging decisions on issue tracker of a single 
rendering
