Okay. But surely this doesn't mean that every named footway or path
should be part of a route relation.

The bike trail that brad linked to,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6632400 -- I've never been there
but I don't offhand see any reason to call it a route. (Brad has been
there, I assume, because it looks like he updated it 2 days ago.)
There's no information in the relation tags that isn't also on the way
itself. Is there any benefit to creating a route relation in cases like
this?
