Yeah but the difference is a manufacturing plant has a big physical
presence that is worth indicating on a map. A person can see it, wonder
what it is, and look at the map. And, more pragmatically, factories don't
come and go as quickly as businesses run on residential premises.

There's no way OSM really wants to be a database of every single registered
(or even unregistered!) business, surely?
