Manual tags require a lot of curation and upkeep, but some "tags" are really just restatements of attributes or facts about a file, like search filters, e.g. ("Pictures downloaded from the web on 2018-04-05", "Files created during installation of World of Warcraft", "Files opened in the last two weeks").
