Because the reason walkers are supposed to stay on the side where they face oncoming traffic is so they can see if the vehicle is making the effort required to give them the space required. If the driver is clearly not moving then the walker has time to move off to the side.

But you didn't say you are an impaired driver and may miss seeing the walker. You said if you see a walker they better get out of your way. It was pretty clear, that no matter your ability, you would not give way to a walker because you feel entitled to the path and if you hit the walker that's on them. That's what you meant no matter if you backtrack now.
