This is a slippery-slope fallacy. Such equivalence should be entered
one, on the applicable key= or tag= page of the OSM wiki, like this:

   
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dice_cream&diff=1510821&oldid=1424407

just as it it should be recorded once in Wikidata, on the
corresponding item, using the "OpenStreetMap tag or key" property,
P1282, like this:

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1311064#P1282
