While I have not so far split service ways because of length, I would not completely reject the idea either (based on local conditions, in my area it isn’t necessary to do it). 
I know Mateusz was exaggerating, but clearly a 22 lanes wide way would very improbably be considered a service=driveway. More likely you would consider it a leisure=pitch ;-)

He wrote “used solely to access a residence”, which is less probable the longer the way is (typically you would also use it to access places between its start and end), so it is not necessarily contradicting.
