Hi Martin,
So what are the explicit exceptions given the wiki says “Use <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:public_transport> public_transport=platform to identify the places where passengers board or alight from public transport of any type” which to me would also suggest that it’s a footway ( <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway=footway is used for mapping minor pathways which are used mainly or exclusively by pedestrians). Is there a tag that these exceptions have that can also be checked in the validation?

People can also walk over meadows, following this logics we should be suggesting to add highway=footway to all meadows? Or amenity=parking? I agree, this should not become suggested tagging. It is so sad the issue has been closed in the github tracker because of too many people complaining (politely) about a developer decision. Closing issues because of disagreement is toxic behaviour and it is understandable it makes people worrying. Cheers, Martin
