Hi
Am I missing something? I looked at way 952248376 and found a user
Pieseczek with 2 changesets and 4 new ways over a year old. If there
was any reference to Strava heat maps then I missed it. Is there any
indication whether Pieseczek is resident in Australia apart from the
likely origin of the name?
If the ways are solely based on heatmaps, they should be deleted
because they can not be ground truthed. But they appear to map ridge
lines. Were they made from the satellite photos or contours? Ridge
lines can be ground truthed and belong on OSM.
I agree with Cleary on mapping of illegal trails but that may not be
relevant in this case.

Do people have a view on the armchair mapping of tracks from Strava heatmaps?
I can see a bunch of tracks in Kanangra-Boyd NP that have been mapped
by an overseas mapper off Strava heatmap.
They almost certainly don't exist on the ground. They are known
bushwalking routes (off track), but would be very unlikely to have a
track even in good times, let along after the fires and 3 years of La
Nina!
