it may be the same for apps, it isn’t for mappers, “unknown” is an imperative for surveying it. It may also make a difference for some searching for such features, because unknown means you might be lucky and they’ll serve you, by appointment means you must not even try if they might be open.

I welcome documenting this value, as it is already used with varying syntax more than 500 times, so it is clear mappers want it: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/opening_hours#values
