This ^^^ is, I believe, the crux of the matter.  Driveways shouldn't (or should rarely be) access=private as they are actually access=destination.  There are obvious times when you WANT someone to use your driveway.  Are there times to mark a highway=* as access=private?  Sure.  But I don't think driveways should be, by default, thought of as private when they are expected to be used by people with a valid need to access the property.  I believe that's what access=destination was designed for.  It works on driveways and it works on neighborhood streets in gated communities (keeps the router from trying to route through the neighborhood) if my understanding is correct (at least it's worked well for me).
