My take on it is that it is showing two distinct pieces of information.
One is a representation of what is physically on the ground. The other
is a representation of what is the legal route and corresponds to a
document somewhere. Both pieces of information are useful.

I think the problem in the context of OS maps is the green rights of way
are generally much more prominent to the eye than the thin black path
lines, despite the black paths being often more useful for walkers.
