The latter is exactly what happened to us.
The other thing is if you have an air humidifier in your home is to turn it down or off until spring to reduce accumulation, and to also run your bathroom fan for a while after any bath/shower.

Current building standard for attic insulation is R60 in AB. It may not have been quite that high in 2021 (OP build date) but when you have 2 feet of blown in insulation, there is no walking on it, or not easily anyway. I definitely would not go walking up there anyway. And you won't find the ducting for your exhaust fans. They are buried.
Pitch shouldn't be an issue either, or at least it's not here, as in newer construction fans exhaust through exterior wall vents, not through roof vents.
