I am unsure about this. If we encourage this interpretation we will have to
review about 5.5 million driveways (which currently do not have an access
tag) [1] . While I would assume that a driveway is typically private access
(or destination), the tag isn't always used in this way, particularly in
the country side and with long driveways. The wiki esplicitly states:
"There is no defined default access tag for driveways, so data consumers
have to guess if you do not add an access tag."

it depends on the specific situation, in tendency yes

depends again on the situation (there may be private driveways which can be
used, I would look for a "no access" sign or similar, in absence of such
signage it is not always clear. for example some such signs are put because
the owner doesn't want other vehicles to be parked, or to reject
responsibilities, but you can walk through)
