https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/service#values Looking at the values only 10% of the service=* are alley.

That it makes sense to tag this explicitly makes sense. The point is that in Ukraine and Russia routing default assumes highway=service to be acces=destination. For me that makes perfectly sense beeing service not a through or public road. Germany does not make such an assumption although i would very much appreciate this.
