Have you tried asking the original mapper? It's inside a holiday park so is inaccessible to local mappers.
I asked now - https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/347341
this edit is from almost a decade ago, so standards may have changed. highway-footway implied RoW, so steps=yes was a neutral feature on 'any' way. Highway=steps came with the presumption of ROW-footway. Since this path is a footway, then changing this would have no effect. Do as you see fit.
