I agree that you are on the sidewalk after coming down the steps, but
i don't agree that every way inside area:highway=footway +
footway=sidewalk (sidewalk area) is a highway=footway +
footway=sidewalk, because there is only *one* sidewalk, not multiple.
Otherwise, following your logic, all ways inside area:highway=tertiary
– including ways from the centre of the road to kerbs (which you
tagged footway=connection) – would have to be tagged highway=tertiary.

In my opinion, the way from the end of the steps to the kerb is also a
connection.

There's no kerb at this place. The only difference to the nearby T
crossing with the track is the width of the two ways.

Why should we need to tag the part of the path inside road area
specifically (e.g. as footway=connection), but not the part of the
track inside the road area?
