this is indeed an unfortunate choice. Tagging a private access parking with 
amenity=parking is similar to tagging the shower in your home as amenity=shower 
or your kitchen sink as amenity=drinking_water. 
Or tagging amenity=drinking_water with drinking_water=no (IIRR, someone once 
proposed this combination for water taps that do not provide drinking water). 
These should all be avoided, and just because it became established for 
parkings (where there are also edge cases like customer parking), does not 
imply we should do it for more tags.

different case. This is an example how it should work: a shop remains a shop, a 
pub a pub and a sidewalk a sidewalk, regardless of the wheelchair tag. This tag 
doesn’t make a pub a fast food or a fine dining restaurant.
