Perhaps because on Commons village pump, non-regulars, interacting politely and civilly, are harassed, abused and also blocked without cause.
Perhaps because the discussion system at Commons is broken, and participation there is oftentimes a complete waste of time.

I cannot see the point of raising questions about how Commons works here rather than on Commons.
All of these points have been raised before and discussed on the village pump.
Other threads on this list were argued to be about multiple projects, this is not.

No, tagging is different. GerardM blogged about this with the example of "horse". You can "tag" a photo as being of a horse by putting it in the horse category, but in no time it will be filed under some subcategory of horse. There are relatively few images in the top "horse" category.
This is one of the most baffling parts of Commons to me. Why is it a problem to have images of horses in Category:Horse? You seem to be describing a social problem ("it will be filed under some subcategory [by a person]"), not a technical problem. If people are vandalizing files by removing useful categories, we should tell them to stop immediately.
