While you could redraw the same geometry over the building (not 100,0% accurate because buildings get drawn on their outline, while businesses would in theory be drawn at the inside, but actually not even with the established indoor tagging scheme you would draw wall widths), I find these troublesome to edit. The alternative are multipolygons where you reuse the building geometry as outer member (usually the only multipolygon member in these cases). They might seem overkill on the other hand, and make editing harder for inexperienced mappers. So basically we end up with most pois added as nodes, as it appears to be currently the best compromise in terms of mapping efficiency, accuracy, complexity and editability. I know there are lots of building=yes with poi data added, but I would discourage this because there really is no way to tell which of the properties (e.g. name) belongs to the building and which to the business.
