I think I agree with that. I wonder if it would be helpful to more
formally recognise tangling as a form of export. For example, in one of
the other threads, you were talking about selective tangling. If
tangling were treated as a form of export, presumably that would mean
that tangling would obey the tag-based selective export mechanisms
(variables org-export-select-tags and org-export-exclude-tags), and also
that #+INCLUDE would have the semantics expected by the OP.

I've certainly read your recent series of emails and the resulting
discussion. But of course time is the major limiting factor, and I
haven't yet managed to properly get my head round the various ideas that
have been discussed. Would you be able to provide a brief summary of the
series of emails? If you could identify one or a few core proposal(s)
and be explicit about exactly what changes in behaviour you're
suggesting, and whether they would be backwards compatible, that could
be very helpful.
