I suppose it is possible that there was an original intended purpose of the gates that did not include slowing traffic. I certainly cannot think of what that might be, but it is possible.
Today, the gates do serve the purpose of slowing/stopping traffic and making the intersection with the MMP safer.
The same could not be achieved by stop signs, sans gate cards and attendants. As stated above, this has been demonstrated time and again when a gate is down.
