"path" isn't Spawn of Satan! ;-)
What is Spawn of Satan, here in the UK at least, is "foot=yes". ;-) This
is completely ambiguous, either use "designated" for a designated right of
way or "permissive" if access is by discretion only.
I consider highway=footway to be an urban surfaced path, and highway=path
to be a rough, mud/dirt/rock, countryside path FWIW.
But TBH I'm really focusing on using the designation= tag for rights of
way these days, to get round these ambiguities.
