I'm not so familiar with the K7 example, but I am intimately, first-person familiar with the WA 500 situation. The breakdown from what I gather in the changeset comments is the disconnect with how it functions on the ground and a pretty crassly mindless "but the WSDOT says it's a freeway" idea. WSDOT calls a divided super 2 with no shoulder a freeway as well. Caltrans calls a 4 lane undivided highway a freeway if it's got ramps, but I'm not sure anybody would consider the broad scope of what some American DOT's call a freeway to be the strict and only thing that makes it a freeway in OSM terms.
