Because people don't care, for instance how many people don't wear seatbelts? a lot, 8-10% https://www.iihs.org/topics/seat-belts . See also on youtube "mustang doing mustang things" 😅

Well, the article's thesis is more that transportation/traffic engineers don't care. DoTs are set up to get grants and spend money, with a focus on throughput. Very little thought is put into safety, and most "safety" best practices are confusing, outdated, or poorly thought out.
