No need for sympathy, I strongly agree with what you're saying. I
think it's unfortunate that we even have the cycleway and footway
tags, but they need to be treated as special cases of highway=path,
Are you also suggesting removing the "special cases" of motorway/trunk
etc & just having highway=road?

No to motorway, a motorway is a divided, limited access highway,
distinct from other types of highway. Trunk is ambiguous, it wouldn't
bother me if it was removed.
The wiki for cycleway, the 1st line:
"The highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=cycleway
tag indicates a separate way for the use of cyclists. "
All of the example pictures show a paved path or track.
IMHO, A rough dirt trail, used by several user groups should not be
tagged as a cycleway.
