I think highway should be reverted to cycleway. There's a
misunderstanding that highway=cycleway implies priority to bicycle
riders, when it actually relates just to the number of transport modes
which can use it. Bridleway equates to three modes: walkers, bikes & horses.

I only noticed these changes when plotting a route in Komoot and
noticing that I needed to create/drag a lot of extra waypoints in order
to get the expected behaviour. Hopefully Komoot will behave responsibly
and warn me that I'll need to dismount in a few places. Repairing
routing as quickly as possible was my priority, although it could take
weeks for some routers to restore functionality.
In this case, I think that if there is any tagging for the renderer, the
target renderer was OpenCycleMap rather than OSM Carto.

But I would note that the default map on osm.org does a poor job of
communicating the difference between shared paths (like those in QEOP and
elsewhere) and dedicated cycle lanes. Both look like blue dashed lines. They
look indistinguishable. So an honest pedestrian mapper might easily jump to the
wrong conclusion and make changes of the sort you've described below.
Perhaps the right way forward is to suggest changes to how osm.org displays
shared ways - red dash for dedicated pedestrian, blue dash for dedicated
cycleway and alternating for shared? Maybe something to indicate priority?
Without changes like this, I can see this sort of thing happening again.

It also appears to be tagging for the renderer, as changing
cycleway->footway changes the path in OpenCycleMap from a blue dashed
line to a red dashed line.
