It might be because, due to a myriad of causation factors I won't delve into here, our streets are open-air drug and crime dens. With greater seriousness crimes being committed with more regularity, homelessness, and housing affordability issues facing us as a society, there are somethings requiring a higher priority than putting a hard-to-find-and-hire police officer with a ticket book on a privately owned multi-modal path.
As for your secondary concern, how about this: A buyer of a used cart (or a car or anything since you have stated you don't have or intend to obtain a cart) practice due diligence and have it inspected for concerns prior to purchase?
That is the fundamental difference in perspective: Some believe that the onus should be on others to make sure things are handled for them, while some believe that onus is on themselves to make sure they are getting what they want.
It's a paradigm dichotomy of where that onus should be placed -- where accountability and responsibility should be placed. For some, they want all taken care of for them. For others, they prefer to do what they need to do the make sure all is taken care of for them thereby preferring to rely on themselves than others. This can be (but won't here due to terms of service) extrapolated to the greater world and how it should be structured. We watch this occurring in many different ways by many different people every hour of every day.
Not saying which way is right or wrong. Maybe both are right and both are wrong in different ways and situations. I'm just pointing out what that bifurcation on an individual level does as to forming our perspectives on many things great and small.
