Looking at the values only 10% of the service=* are alley.

What about highway=service without service=* ?

That it makes sense to tag this explicitly makes sense.

The point is that in Ukraine and Russia routing default assumes
highway=service to be acces=destination. For me that makes perfectly
sense beeing service not a through or public road.

Germany does not make such an assumption although i would very much
appreciate this.
