I'll bet it's to do with the US.

I think that in the US we are mapping "freeways" as either
highway=motorway (for freeways that cross state lines, i.e.
Interstates) or highway=trunk (for freeways that don't). So,
translating it to the UK, the "avoid freeways" option becomes "avoid
motorways", but still disables both highway=motorway and
highway=trunk.

Cheers,
Andy
