So, if width alone is used as criterion to distinguish between highway=footway and highway=pedestrian, the second one would be highway=pedestrian, since it is wide enough and smooth enough for a vehicle to pass. I agree that tagging it this way would be sort of incorrect, as it ignores the purpose and function of that way. Similar to that is the difference between path [1] and track [2]. I've seen some people argue that the difference is simply width, but the wiki allows tagging wide ways as path. The actual difference between them is purpose and function.
