no, some routers do use tracks for car routing (I'd expect a router to use tracks for cars, but only as a last resort when there are no alternatives)

In your original post you mentioned path and cycleway, those should indeed not route cars

I'd file a bug at scout and see what they respond, you should definitely not adapt osm data based on one router
