I agree. In many cases, it is better to expand the domain of an existing property than to define a common super-type.
This is also important since otherwise Web developers are flooded with properties for a given type. See the many properties that
http://schema.org/WebPage
inherits from
http://schema.org/CreativeWork
Many of them are conceptually valid yet practically not applicable to many Web pages.
