man git-push says:

SYNOPSIS
       git push [...] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]
[...]
       --tags
           All refs under refs/tags are pushed, in addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
           line.

You did not provide any refspec (you provided <repository> but not
<refspec>), hence --tags pushes only tags. So, this is the expected
behavior.

That said, we may want to add an option like --tags-also that would push
tags _in addition_ to what would normally be pushed. --follow-tags does
more or less this, though, but only for annotated tags pointing at a ref
being pushed.
