Yes, I think it makes sense to distinguish between scrubland (landscape feature) and bushes as planting per se. The two only have something to do with each other in that the second is one (of several) components of the first. Shrubland consists not only of bushes, but also grass (high or less high) and taller woody plants (tree-like shrubs such as the common hazel, trees).

And we tried to distinguish them by saying "if actively manicured" then natural=shrubbery because the wild scrublands are not manicured. They can be managed (for example managing nature reserve), just like natural=shrubbery and we agreed with the first vote that that resulted in a to broad definition. You can however assess whether something is manicured ( and a somewhat wilder look is allowed). Just like landuse=meadow|grass and natural=grassland, also for natural=scrub|shrubbery it makes sense to have seperate, first level tags for that allow for different tagging, where with natural=shrubbery you can focus more on tagging specifically for landscaping. And agree, there will always be some egde cases where you can discuss about but for the majority, with decent explanation and examples on wiki, you can say whether it is natural=shrubbery or natural=scrub.

I see often areas with barrier=hedge and area=yes (what is really false, but a good point to think forward)

The thing here is, barrier=hedge + area=yes is not getting its render support back and because a hedge is also shrubbery, it would be better to move hedge to a seperate tag, only used for tagging areas and keeping barrier=hedge only for lines.
