So because there are ways to reverse-engineer most of the information
with lots of effort that we have available anyway, you are saying things
are fine?

I bet you like the garmin file formats too, then ;-).

Sorry, I still think in many areas tracks are just a useless cloud of
points. I have been in the guessing game of whether gps points are a
road, the bicycle way next to it, or the sidewalk next to that for long
enough, to stop worrying about uploaded GPS points.
