And, if you want security, why not have a 24-hour surveillance camera at every gate? No cards or buttons needed. Just a time delay to open the gate and to prevent two vehicles from going through at the same time.

I haven't heard or read an explanation but I've seen one in action. I watched while the driver in front of me took off their seatbelt and stepped out of the car because they weren't close enough to reach the red button. This was amusing once or twice but I fear it would become a regular occurrence if the red button was the only option.
A security camera taking photos and a delayed gate would be more convenient. I wonder what the cost would be to implement that at 200+ gates. Maybe that is one of the upgrades they are considering after the new controller boards are installed.
