in many parts of the world such areas are actually "dont walk there",
before routers start routing them they awould have to be tagged with
access tags.
actually the chances are higher they will be augmented with access
tags _after_ routing engines suggest to use them.
Also grass areas in the mountains can't be assumed to be walkable.
not sure, it might just be lack of detail if the router thinks you can
walk there but you can't because of obstacles?
Generally, you can't walk on grass areas in lower elevations either in
many instances (e.g. natural reserves often imply not leaving the
ways, in Germany you are explicitly entitled to enter the open
landscape (regardless of property) unless they are fenced or you would
damage the crops (including grass here as a crop), i.e. you can only
legally walk on cut meadows (= between autumn and early spring).
I was once told off for walking on the grass in front of a town hall in
Norway.
As an Australian - public area grass is for walking on, sitting on,
lunching on, sleeping on, etc.
Local rules apply.So there needs to be default values for each area.
