Not just deprefer. Without user consent there should be NO usage of
steps AT ALL. Which would be inline with the osm wiki which
says "access=no/foot=yes" as implicit defaults.

There may be a "rail" which is okay for your city bike, not okay with
a child trailer or for me with a lot of Bikepacking gear on the bike for
a multi-week trip.

But still using a rail should be an option to select for the routing
profile not just assume that aunt tilly can carry her 30kg ebike up
steep steps on a rail.
