Proposed automated edit: remove guest_house=guest_house and playground:theme=playground where they add zero info

I have started to tag unthemed areas with the less confusing (IMO) playground:theme=none

On the subject of guest houses, don’t forget that bed and breakfasts were merged into guest houses a while back.

guest_house=guest_house can at least be assumed to mean “this is a guest house not a bed and breakfast”.

so, you would be against this edit on this basis? At least for guest_house=guest_house part?

Yes, unless you’re taking care to investigate the correct state of each object in OSM individually (in which case it wouldn’t be an automated edit).

The elephant in the room here is that of course (in the UK at least) traditional guest houses and B&Bs have been somewhat usurped by short-term not always strictly legal remote rentals where you deal with the property owner over the internet only and enter a code in a keybox (or similar) to gain entry.
