The subject at hand is about "sidewalks", i.e. "highway=residential footway=both" vs "highway=residential sidewalk=both" there is an entirely different kerfuffle about "highway=footway" vs "highway=path" ... and that's been going on for yonks.

Well, it depends whether you are talking about dictionary meaning, or "OSM meaning". Sure, in a dictionary, footway is like sidewalk, but as Andy Robinson has explained, it has a much wider meaning within OSM.
