Traffic calming is just an admission that state and local police are utterly useless to enforce laws against distracted driving and texting.
On almost every drive I see people speeding >15 mph over the limit, recklessly weaving in and out of traffic and making dangerous passes to get slightly ahead. The police are doing nothing against this dangerous and illegal behavior and won’t do anything about texting either regardless of the offense level.

I’ve seen cops drive with defaced license plates on their personal vehicles, park on sidewalks, and recklessly speed. Traffic calming measures would be by some entity the cops can’t control, so they hate them too.
