hmm... point taken. I do want to try making custom maps in the future
that I'll probably base off of carto, so maybe I'll have a better grasp
when I start that project

It depends on a map. For OSM Carto (current default map style at
the OSM Main site) one may look at source code - for example

is there any articles on what does/doesn't get used on particular
zoom levels? just figure it wouldn't hurt to double check my
general understanding

From a zoomed-out perspective, landuse= (and natural=) is the main
thing you see on the map (especially if buildings aren't
mapped), so I
think it's pretty useful from a cartographic point of view.
It's not
just about what you see on the ground, but how you can turn
that into
a useful map when you're looking at a large area.
There are still chunks of the UK which look empty at medium zoom
levels (e.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/50.4437/-4.8581)
due to lack of landuse mapping.
