To experienced players: are BGG categories good? (lemmy.ml)

I was trying to find some games the other day, using advanced search and filters, and I've noticed some categories feel not so useful. This is the actual main categorization:

Abstract games
Children's games
Customizable games
Family games
Party games
Strategy games
Thematic games
Wargames

These are the main game genres in your opinion?

They are useful in combinations. For example, maybe you want a wargame that isn't also flagged thematic and that has bag drawing as a mechanism. Or you want a party game that is strategic and uses drafting. Etc etc.
