while we do not add oneway=no generally, the tag shouldn’t be completely dismissed either. I would usually not remove it, and sometimes it will be put as confirmation because you would find a oneway tag omission more likely than a bidirectional road (particularly has to do with topography and road width)

If I had to survey a residential area with most oneway streets drawn from aerial imagery, I’d certainly also tag oneway=no

Similarly, if I wanted to tag all rails with electrification info, I would probably also tag the no-s.

Half of the electrified values are no

Your oneway=no example is more extreme, but still 20% are no
