It follows a general concept of switch(pattern,value,else_if_pattern,value,else_if_pattern,value,else_value)

Okay, so I would list the various Gay/LGBT/etc tags first to switch those to MM Romance, and then do a general "Romance" tag later and switch that to M/F romance? Yeah I can do that.

Fair enough, I have "only" 796 books. For now.

Again, for me it's a matter of being lazy. Well, not really lazy, but finding something generally involves a lot more button pushing than I want to do on my PW.
I hate the search function on the Kindle--a lot of the time if I'm searching for a specific title or author, I can't find it because something in the metadata subtly differs from what I'm searching for. A good example of this is when a book is written by two authors. You have to search by the one listed first, and a LOT of authors in my genre co-write.
Then, also, a lot of these are actually books I haven't read yet that I've received from other authors in my genre or that I've bought to catch up with the various authors in my genre (so I can be conversant with my peers about their books, or just to keep an eye on what is going on in the genre.)
So a lot of the time, choosing a book to read involves going down a list of authors I'm not actually all that familiar with, doing an eenie-meenie-miney-mo and saying, "I'll read THIS one!" Unless I have them sorted into easily digestible chunks, I would be scrolling endlessly though page after page after page (1800 books and they're listed at, what, 8 titles per page in list view?) That's a lot of paging forward.
