What Dan said.

Ever use Flickr?  Ever use Flickr via mobile phone or email where you can tag
photos with "tags: tag2 tag3" ?  Ever duplicate this functionality on your own
site where you can post via your cell phone via email or SMS?

Yeah, that's why: because not everyone is sitting at the Drupal interface typing
in node content.

And, really, it's okay.  People use software in ways you wouldn't expect them
to, sometimes in creative ways, sometimes in ways you think are dumb.  Doesn't
matter.  If it works for them, then let them use it that way.
