I would expect such outcome. Antarctica has no cities, towns and villages.

No people live there permanently. It has things like research stations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Antarctica

I have not made in-depth exploration of topic but I would expect
zero highway=motorway
zero highway=trunk
zero highway=primary
zero highway=secondary

even highway=tertiary is dubious for me there at initial glance

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/277049191/history
highway=tertiary seems too much

that looks like service road for access of airport, maybe
highway=unclassified at most

highway=secondary in such case seems absurd for access road to an
airport in such case, this island should not have highway=secondary anywhere at all
(unless I missed town located there)
