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?

I think they are pretty useful. Especially when you use them to filter out by checking (-).

For example, if you are looking for games that play with 7 people but you don't want to see party games. Or a game about animals, but not a children's game. Or games set in ancient Rome, but not wargames.
