Yes, no unsigned walking or biycle routes in OSM, it's as simple as that.

Those routes belong to other websites that can maintain them (like wikiloc 
maybe), but not in OSM. Otherwise everyone would start adding their favourite 
self-invented routes and we'll have a big mess of routes, and there's no 
reference on the ground except for this one person who thought that it was a 
nice one. This rule has been decided in OSM a very long time ago.

If there are routes like these in OSM, they should be deleted.
