IMHO, the value of the highway tag should define its use, not the

So highway=pedestrian (or service or ...), surface=grass; area=yes
makes more sense to me
(or would you start defining highway=paving_stones, cobblestones, etc.
as well ?).
It seems that many people in this discussion take the value "grass" so
something extreme. The fact grass is used, is because it is currently hides
the surface in the rendering, and no other common value of unpaved areas
exists that fits the bill. Personally I find highway=service,
surface=grass, area=yes appropriate for the camping site but not when it
rendered as paved road.
A renderer could look at the surface tag to colour the area. No reason
to start inventing new values for the highway tag.
From the github issue:
"Fundamentally, a map is not a vectorized version of a satellite image.
Motorways don't have to be red on the ground, parking yellow, nor service
roads white."
