You could propose
that footpaths should no longer use the highway= tag, as they’re not
highways, using a similar argument.
Sure they are.
From Wikipedia:
A highway is a public road, especially a major road connecting two or
more destinations.
Traditionally highways were used by people on foot or on horses.
In English law, […] the term is used to denote any public road used
which include streets, lanes as well as main road, trunk roads and motorways
In American law, the word "highway" is sometimes used to denote any
public way used for travel, whether major highway, freeway, turnpike,
street, lane, alley, pathway, dirt track, footpaths, and trails, and
navigable waterways.
