How difficult would it be to include pedestrian squares and transport platforms into routes?

Hello,

I’ve noticed that GH doesn’t build a route through a pedestrian square or public transport platform (examples below). Or correct me if I’m heading wrong direction, please.
It breaks several of mine use-cases and I would like to change it. But before I need to estimate what amount of work it needs to be done and in which parts of Graphhopper.
I appreciate any help with estimation and leading me.

Example 1: It seems that platform does not connect two roads.

  1. Route 1.
    https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=52.049093%2C4.479147&point=52.048492%2C4.477725&locale=en-GB&vehicle=foot&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&turn_costs=false&use_miles=false&layer=Omniscale
  2. Route 2. I guess that if the platform had connected roads then the route wouldn’t have changed so much.

Example 2.
https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=52.363755%2C4.881348&point=52.364397%2C4.882231&locale=en-GB&vehicle=foot&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&turn_costs=false&use_miles=false&layer=Omniscale
Judging from the available street network here, there’s no way for the engine to route to the destination: the edge is simply missing. I wonder why it doesn’t route along the Way tagged as “pedestrian area” of Leidsplein, same as it did in example 1 and 3 for the train platform
