This seems to miss useful categories for many human activities you might want to search for

For example

material safety data sheets
translations
3d models
architectural plans
algorithms
role playing game characters

I'm not sure what value there is in the schema.org team reworking all
of these, rather than just providing high level classes (e.g.
http://schema.org/CreativeWork) and filling the rest out in-bulk from
the chaotic but self-managing Wikipedia.

I suppose I agree with that, but there is not even an obvious high
level class for some of these to go in.
