IMHO, the argument is perfectly valid. The problem with highway=cycleway and pedestrians isn't that adding a foot=no would be too much effort. The problem is that some people, while they wouldn't mind adding it, don't know that they need to add it in the first place. Therefore, the number of tags isn't the issue here, but rather whether the tags are prone to misinterpretation. Generally, the more implicit assumptions you associate with a tag, the more probable it is that someone's implicit assumptions are different from yours. That's why a "largely meaningless object" like path has a certain appeal.
