In any case, I actually tried once to pass a location over telephone by telling the coordinates. It was accepted as a joke. No surprise, since there are different formats, negative numbers, etc.

There is no need for this data in OSM because the data can be retrieved
automatically from latitude and longitude (plain coordinates) which are
already assigned to anything which has a location on the planet.
Adding Plus Code tags to OSM objects is as useful as adding latitude=*
and longitude=* or any other coordinate system which can be calculated
from latitude and longitude.
This import should be reverted.
