Yes, the driver has the greater responsibility. But not all drivers are responsible. Ask every pedestrian who has been killed by an irresponsible driver. Hm, wait - you can't do that - they're dead.

Yes, pedestrians have the right of way. But having the right of way won't save your life if the driver coming toward you don't care, or is too drunk to notice, or lost their glasses and is driving without them, or is too busy talking on the phone to even look at the road in front of them.
