No need for sympathy, I strongly agree with what you're saying.
I think it's unfortunate that we even have the cycleway and
footway tags, but they need to be treated as special cases of
highway=path,

Are you also suggesting removing the "special cases" of
motorway/trunk etc & just having highway=road?

No to motorway, a motorway is a divided, limited access highway,
distinct from other types of highway. Trunk is ambiguous, it
wouldn't bother me if it was removed.<br>

The wiki for cycleway, the 1st line:<br>

way for the use of cyclists.
"<br>
All of the example pictures show a paved path or track. <br>
IMHO, A rough dirt trail, used by several user groups should not be
tagged as a cycleway. <br>
