to clarify: I meant that it is irrelevant as far as allowing mapping
Initial posting read like claim that Lyft mapper did something wrong or
incorrectly
and they should not be doing this.

I am not aware about such code. Can you share code capable of doing this
without human intervention and with reasonable cost?
In other words, this claim seems incorrect to me.
Also, it is rarity to find area where such data is fully mapped.

For displaying and analysing dominant land use.

Depends on their size and yes, partially on subjective local mapping practice.
Borderline cases end being sort-of-randomly but overall many people are
interested
in distinction between residential and industrial and retail (and so on) areas.
