that's partly true, but there are groups of people who could benefit from more detailed descriptions: the blind, people in wheelchairs, routers that try to avoid less safe situations (e.g. for kids), and generally, knowing about the actual details for pedestrians will improve the routing for every pedestrian, because a better route can be found (less true in rural settings with less alternatives, obviously).
