I have no problem with ceremonial cities being marked as such.
What I have a big problem with is that major towns, by both population and local importance, are left off the map until you zoom to a low level.
I find this annoying enough that I actively avoid OSM based sites because it. It makes using OSM difficult to see major towns in relation other major cities.
Meanwhile there’ll be a tiny ceremonial city with a huge label over it.
FWIW OSM was founded and is still heavily influenced by the UK. As a UK user I like it that ceremonial cities are tagged and displayed as such. YMMV.
