Hi Quincy,
It's a mix of both. There are name tags that are truly descriptive and not an actual name e.g. red trail. The other names are just a duplicate of what is already in the hiking relation and creates just a duplicate when name searching. This is actually quite common way of mapping hiking routes and makes the data more tidy.
There are dedicated hiking maps that show these names from relations. Though, some maps have made a decision of not showing them and in my opinion adding the names as a workaround goes against the creators intent.
Cheers
