Using that reasoning, then why are roads depicted as a linear way with
no width? All roads should be an area, depicted as the area between
each road edge, then you might also need another area on either side
of the road to depict the road allowance (ditches) alongside the road.

If roads are going to be depicted as linear ways, then the areas
bounding those ways can be depicted using the linear way as an edge of
the neighboring area.
