Oh yes, that would be very confusing indeed! No, no, it's that tags on Tumblr are functionally worthless for organizing or finding things and also Tumblr is terrible at context and will pass reblogs around to so many different audiences that there's no predicting it. So people wound up using them as free-form commentary that would definitely stay to only their own followers, which wound up bleeding into other spaces--especially the Archive of Our Own.
