I've seen a lot of poor mapping get replicated in this way by newcomers
copying the tags.

"except for the preceding, we follow OSM community norms."
This should be enough to ban of all their mapping accounts until
changing their plan
(I assume that they either backtracked that or stopped editing)
They said that they were going to do some additional training for
their staff. They did give some indication they would make some
changes, but I didn't follow up. Part of the problem is that another,
non local, mapper got really enthusiastic a couple of years ago about
changing all unpaved roads to highway=track. Amazon Logistics people
see this, and if they are adding a road, they perhaps compare it to
the existing content nearby, and try to mimic that tagging.
