Yes that is true, but most of the time this happens in places where only a few pedestrians are likely to use it. I can count on one hand the amount of times in the last few years that I have needed to walk on a bike path as a pedestrian while working in Amsterdam and visiting many other cities and towns.
It happens I agree, but as far as I can tell there are few places in the Netherlands where more than the occasional pedestrian need to walk on the bike path for more than a few meters.
I see this situation all the time. Does every single bicycle underpass under the motorway have a full sidewalk alongside it? I can point to many situations in the Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam where the bicycle path is the only option for pedestrians getting from point to point. I also know of tunnels that have bicycle paths but no pedestrian path. The only way to get across as a pedestrian is to use the bicycle path.
