I think some non-native speakers treated `unisex=yes` as meaning “gender segregated but male & female are available”, i.e. read that paragraph as “some OSMers might have been wrong, and we don't know how many unisex=yes/no tags in OSM were affected by the misunderstanding”

Not a native speaker: unisex is a property of the infrastructure:
Toilets that accommodate any person regardless of sex are unisex,
garments that can be worn, regardless of sex are unisex.
If a facility is to be used by men and women at the same time, this is
not a property of the infrastructure, so unisex will not apply. The
sauna is unisex all the time, but the schedule is not, there are mixed
and un-mixed times instead. Such is the language here, translated into
English.
