Because drivers irrationally expect free land for their car everywhere. It's stupid but that's why. Though often when you suggest letting a homeless person sleep on that land (via building homes) or using it for other things like a garden they react with anger. Driver entitlement is present in many, many little ways in our lives. Even if we don't intend it to be. My mother in law visited and remarked that a person standing in the road chatting with their neighbour should move and was surprised when I said "this lane is at least 300 years old and SOMEBODY was the first to drive up and say 'get out of my way or I'll kill you' and somehow we sided with the driver. I can drive slowly it's ok".
