I’d venture to say you’ve never spent time in Thailand. You rarely see the wheelchair bound out and about because the place is unnavigable, same for the idea of a shopping trolley. Even bicycles are a rarity. Traffic regulations are merely suggestions. The place is just not pedestrian friendly.
In Thailand, it just makes it easier for motorcycles and cart vendors to use the walkways.
It doesn’t “just” do that, it also makes it easier for the elderly, those in a wheelchair, those rolling a grocery trolley full of bags, etc.

Yes, I’m aware, but “rarely” is not “never”, so it seems worth having them.
