There are two issues. One is the physical aspect, and I think you overweight how much people care about that. Or rather, people understand that trails through the forest are not usually paved. The hierarchy that I care about is showing trails that are useful for traveling longer distances at lower zoom levels. When zooming out, I still want to see trails that are useful for big distances, whereas sidewalks are clutter. This is not so different from still showing primary. But it's not about physical, it's about the logical place in the road network. For car roads, high-status roads tend to be wider/faster. For trails, that's not really true.
