I don't follow - the only US highway visible is primary, and then a vast
number of roads are tagged as secondary.  None of the secondary roads
are so high traffic or important to merit being called primaries.

I'm guessing the primaries that aren't us highways have comparable
importance, and there aren't that many of them, so that seems fine.
(The area I pointed out is a boring residential town that no one would
drive through if they were going more than a few towns.)
