+1, it's unreasonable for mappers to be mind readers about the intent of
land managers.  Either the public is allowed to walk on these paths, or
they are not.  There isn't really a middle ground here.  Though of course,
it is up to renderers to render access=no trails differently to make
access=no actually solve the problem being posed (the public following
paths in OSM that they shouldn't)
