2) people may be interested in places where cyclists nominally have right of the way but actual infrastructure is not suitable for cycling 3) yes, routers need to look also on other tags and process various obstacles (see also surface=sand and so And in general meaning is clear: these are steps were cyclist are allowed to cycle. Note it does not mean that cycling is feasible or a good idea there.
