You are touching on a week point: OSM mapping manpower. The lack of this level of detail is only partially due to lack of keys (if you draw a separate sidewalk along a road, we normally do not map what separation there is from the roadway, be it a 5cm high kerb or a guard rail). A kerb does not prevent a pedestrian or a dismounted cyclist from crossing, but would be a problem for a wheelchair. My approach is a compromise, i.e. mapping for the end user cyclist: I try to map all pedestrian crossings and, admittedly depending on my time, also driveways, at reasonable intervals, to connect in particular sidewalks and foot-cycle paths that run along a roadway. Not ideal, but a compromise.
