If the public really has a legal right of access, similar to a road,
then access=yes sounds entirely fair.

Around me, almost all tracks are either on private land (e.g, for
agricultural use), where there is no right of access, or are in
conservation land, wildlife management areas, etc., and are there for
emergency access, maintenance, etc. and typically blocked from motor
vehicle use by locked gates.  But, typically
pedestrian/bicyclists/horses are allowed.

If orsm is defaulting to access=private for vehicle routing for tracks
with no access tag, that does not sound unreasonable.
